Hi Evo, been following this thread with interest, great result I'll bet you're relieved,

[Evo]

thats great news, you have to be carefull with a 4wd as there are plenty of numptys that think they know what they are doing and then you have a mechanic that does know what they are doing and that makes it easy when you find one like that. anyway now thats done and sorted you could try to make the powerlines saturday evening??

Yes indeed. Just wish he was back earlier because he would have been the first port of call...
As for Powerlines, I wish I could but the missus is working back a bit Saturday and I'll have to pick her up when she's done.

Hi Evo, been following this thread with interest, great result I'll bet you're relieved,

It's like a great weight has been lifted.
Feeling pretty good now for the first time in god knows how long....

No worries evo, thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up and give the old girl a test out to make sure there are no noises but if she is working it will be quiet won't it lol. Whoops we were talking about the car weren't we?

Seems I can stop holding my breath now. PHEW!
Let us know how things are after you've driven it through the settling in period.
I've felt for you throughout this thread, but it has been an informative one for all. Thanks.

Thanks guys...

It's back.....

Not as bad as before, was thinking the slip yoke is extended a bit more than its comfortable with, and was considering a spacer to see if that will make a difference.
Thoughts?

Cheers

Take shaft out and go for a drive, you greased the joint I would assume, unless the joint is stuffed 4 inch lift is usually ok on the rear shaft

It's not so much the lift.
I think I mentioned in a previous post, there are longer lower trailing arms installed on it that I had not noticed or wasn't aware of.
According to old mate that did the unis, these arms have pushed the diff back a little further, so I'm thinking the difference between the stock arms and these 11mm longer ones is just enough to cause an issue.
On the shaft you can see where the slip yoke dust/grease boot used to be, and form there to current is about 25mm.
I have gone back over when things were fitted and things done, and there was no noticeable problem until after I got it back with these longer lower arms (best I can work out from all my invoices and memory of dates, etc).
I'm leaning to either slip yoke needs just a little more contact, or these lower arms have thrown the pinion angles out a bit (however I'm told and led to believe these longer lower arms are supposed to assist in correcting pinion angles).
Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers

Hi mate I would have thought longer lower arms would mean a bigger angle, longer upper arms will reduce the angle from the diff to drive shaft???
