Landcruiser 100 series knocking sound?

A stuffed CV joint same as heard on a mini or an 1100 Save your pennies you'll need them.

Yeah CV joint.

G'day Reetta & Joe

Sadly the knocking sound(s) spell the close end of the CV joint, the sound may well disappear for a while but do not hesitate to change the CV and it would be wise to replace it's ageing mate on the other side, this will give you peace of mind, when you venture well off the beaten track.

If the budget allows it, buy aftermarket CV's from any of the reputable hard core off road vehicle parts people, Snake Racing ~ BBM or Marks Adaptors, they all carry excellent products and their products out last the original gear five times over so it's worth the extra loot.

Cheers:

yep hear them all the time on the work utes. they last about 20,000k on the originals and maybe a 1/4 of that after they put in the aftermarket ones

are you talking 100 or 105?

It could possibly be free wheel hub also but most likely CV.
But why only low range?

Thanks guys for huge response, probably not what I wanted to hear expense wise. It is definately the 100 series, it is a 1998 model which I think was the first year they came out. I wonder if it has CV's at all because it is the old fashion diff, a live axle as they call it?
This is my first attempt on this website so apologies for duplication of reply as posted in last entry by mistake.
