Diff klap

[Whisky]

I drive a 2009 Hilux DC, 82 000Km on the clock.

When I change gears and let the clutch go the diff makes a clap sound , this is when the drive-shaft grips in the diff I suppose. Is this normal for a Toyota? At times I drive the work Nissan NP 300 bakkie and it does not make that sound , the change over is smooth.

I had a similar feeling when pulling away (automatic) is was my propshaft and centre bearing that was tired.

Nie op 82 000km nie.

Nie op 82 000km nie.

Maklik op 82000km... Dit hang net af of iets al die propshaft gestamp het...

MOET DIT NET NIE TOYOTA TOE WAT NIE!!!!!

Myne was in December reg gemaak vir onder R1500 as ek reg onthou dit was 3 nuwe univesal joints en die centre bearing, eerder dit as om die diff te overhaul. sterkte julle

Waar het jy parte gekoop ek het al gehoor die pirate centre bearings hou nie en Toyota vra by R1000 en die universal joints seke ok daar rond.

It's easy enough to check if it's universals, centre carrier bearing or diff back-lash - just get in under there (you have enough clearance without the use of jacks, Ben), and check it by hand. First in neutral and start at the diff, turning the prop ecah way checking for play in the diff, then each uni one at a time. If you don't find any play after the last uni, put it into gear, lift the rear tyres off the ground and check the play from the gearbox / x-fer box.

Hopefully it's just one thing, but it could be a possibility of it being a combination of a little play in each (worst case). IMO it will rarely be the carrier that's at fault for your symptoms, but check it for sideways play at the same time - up / down as well as sideways. It should move about 2 to 3 mm either way, but the movement should feel firm, not sloppy.

Dankie vir al die kommentaar.

Andy ek sal die naweek onder in kruip en mooi ronddraai. Ek het nog nie sulke slegte paaie of roetes gery dat ek die onderstel gekap of geskraap het nie.

Die klap kom al van lankal af.

Beste is om hom te vat na die manne wat die propshafts reg maak, hulle haal hom vinnig af en toets hom voordat hulle quote.
