intermittent clunk

Wizard1,
It's not the CV's as I have checked them and they are fine as well. It seems to be coming from the back of the vehicle.

Deserter,
yep my 07 D4D, does the same. seems toyota know about it. I will get round to getting them have alook @ it. they advise will not effect performance. ??
my business partner's new 200 series D4D does the same.
cheers Tom

Common problem in the 95 series too. My'n does it every now and then but have been told to keep the grease up to it. Apparantly the splines bind together and doesnt slip back and forth like they should. Toyota supposidly trialing a new type to rectify the problem in the 120 series. Doesnt affect anything just annoying. Regards Steve M

Disco,
Nothing loose in the back.

I have re greased the rear wheel bearings and adjusted to spec.

Could be the rear bushes as you mentioned. Similar noise to when you tap the disc with a hammer.more of a ting rather than a clunk...bit hard to describe.

It did it last night when slowing to a right hand turn under brakes, upon releasing brakes and just before accelerating round the roundabout a ting noise is heard...but then it may not do it for weeks....got me stuffed at the moment. I will get it on a hoist and check those susp bushes.


Thanks again

Rob

can you initiate the clunk by manually changing down, that is, eliminating the auto change down?....just a thought
