My HZ 75 had a hard live before I bought it which I'm starting to find out more and more. The front and rear drive shafts have been replaced and the wheelbearings and a few other things. It was running fine until we did some 4Wd stuff just around Bribie after Christmas.
Now I have a clonk while taking off or going in reverse which sounds like universal joints. But I went under neath and had a look it feels like it is where the drive shaft goes into the transfercase. There is about 20mm or more freeplay and it sounds like the mild version of the same clonk when I take off.
I just spend $3000 on the car and I really don't feel like spending something like that again.
I wonder if that play is normal or excessive and if so is it smarter to buy a rebuild transferbox or repair this one?
I feel better already :-)
cheers
