Annoying Clicking noise
I have a noise coming from under to the rear of my car ( I think) it sounds like i have something stuck in my tyre but a bit deeper sound. It isnt my tyres as it is happening with my old set and my new Mickey T's. It happens when you are low to mid revs accelerating. Stops if your put your foot on the clutch and when you take your foot off the accelerator. Please help if any one else has experienced this. Hopefully its not a too big job. Thanks Mass

Sounds like it is something making the noise only when it is loaded up, so it could be a uni joint, or bearing. Which one it is, is the question. You will have to see if you can get any abnormal movement in the driveline.97 VX Grande, with front & rear air lockers, ARB Sahara winch bar with tigers 11 winch, 2" EFS lift, 265/75/16 Achilles Desert hawk XMT, and more.

I started reading this thread, thinking I have the same problem. I got it after a challenging track on the weekend.
Just got it back from the mechanic who said that the diff is fine, no evidence of metal in the oil etc. He thinks it's possibly a split in part of the cardon/uni joint near the transfer case. Mine is an auto so it's not the clutch. I too was hoping I'd need a new diff centre, so I started getting quotes for a locker. Now I have no immediate justification. Still I might go ahead anyway

Haha It turns out it was the same problem. 2 teeth chipped off crown wheel.
The mechanic discovered it while putting a locker in. Now I have to wait a few days while they source a new crown wheel and pinionDavid

Its a pity that both front an rear crown wheels didn't go.

No worries mate. During the process did you get a price for genuine parts? I just checked toyodiy.com and it's listed as $1,122 !! (so they'd probably cost ~$1,400, ouch!!)Originally posted by BirdMan View PostThanks Glen, I'll be round to pick them up tomorrow.

Have you tried greasing your uni's. A dry uni can make quite a clicking sound and get worse the more milews you travel with it.----------------------------------------------------------------

The mechanic quoted me 'around $1000' so that was a bit vague. Apparently there is a 5-6 wait for them out of Japan.Originally posted by glen_ep View PostDavid

I finally got her back today. Glen's 2nd hand crown wheel and my pinion (yes I know you shouldn't mix) have been lashed well so there is no diff whine. Runs like a new one now, well it pretty much is all new ...David
