I have a 99 model Jackaroo SE Auto Petrol which has travelled 50000 K's. During the past week on 2 occasions within 5 minutes of each other I noted a shudder(thump-thump-thump) through the vehicle just after take off from a tight
parking spot. The indication was as if I had a flat tyre on the passenger side rear. Tyres were OK so I checked to see if I had picked up a large stone & then checked wheel nuts - all OK. A friend suggested it might be due to the limited slip diff sticking and it should not really be a problem. Since that time have done ca 1000k's without it occuring again. My Holden Dealer has said he has not heard of this happening and suggested that if and/ or when it happens again that I take note. I think my description describes exactly how it was! Maybe someone can throw some light on what might be the problem?

David ... As a '99 model, is your Jack still under warranty? If it is, make sure the dealer registers that you have experienced this problem, because if it come back to bite you at a later time it could be costly. At least this way, the dealer has been made aware and you may have some warranty recourse. Ensure you put it to them in writing, dates, kilometres, details .... everything.
