Drive line noise

[Trolatron]

Hello all,

I have a noise which has gotten a lot worse in the last 2 weeks, first I thought it was the thrust bearing or the gear box but after having a poke around under the bus I found whats in the video.

Question:
Would this movement cause a loud roar sound ?? ( roars when accellerating or coasting )
And can that movement be fixed easly or is it a big job ??

I was going on a 3 day trip this weekend ..was...:frown:

Can't view your photo bucket, sorry. If its a roar I'd be looking at uni's that their call sign.

Change the pinion bearing not a big job, one of the cheaper ones too.
wasn't far off ,right next to uni.

x2 certainly looks like its had it.

Can it be done by just taking off the drive shaft and accessing it from there while on the car or would I have to unbolt the diff housing and take it out.

On my other 4x4 I did it on the 4x4 just dropped the tailshaft, Didn't take too long from memory
Not having done a Patrol one, I'd wait till someones who's done one comes along
