CAN I BLOW A CV IN 2WD?
Posted: Sat, 27 Jul 2019 11:32 +0000
Hey Guys, Ive got a 2007 lux, its only a recent purchase, 240kms - unknown history to me.
Anyways on the way home the other day I was coming around a tight right hand turn off camber so the left side was pretty loaded when i heard a bang, then a rotational clunk every wheel revolution or so. I pulled up pretty quick, couldn't see a busted cv or anything else that looked suspect. I put it in neutral and rolled it down the hill a small way and the noise was still there seemed like about every revolution or second revolution of the tyre it would be there. I got out and checked again but still couldn't find play or anything in the shafts, or front end etc. I started limping it home which was about 2km just rolling in first. after about 150m the noise stopped altogether I got home and tested my 2wd/4wd and it seemed ok, no noises, reverse was fine.
I chocked up the front end and checked for play in the bearings there was a very slight clicking in the left CV at the same point each revolution but other than that all fine. Also a small amount of side to side play on the left side and the cv hosing has about 5-7mm of play against the diff side housing too - only on left side, the right seems tighter on tolerances.
I got up this morning and used the truck to haul pallets around my property - no dramas then i decided to check it in 4wd/slow/full lock I put it in 4wd and just let the clutch off at full lock left and right, it seemed to move off the line but then almost stop moving like as if i had put the handbrake on, like it was bound up in the cv or diff or something.
About a month ago I did a big trip towing my trailer and dirt bikes, After i took the trailer off I had a big bang like the diff was bound up and slipped, but I thought that noise was in the rear… it was almost like when an auto locker lets go… but not.
Also I noticed that when i put it in 4 high - so pull the transfer lever down it doesn't stay to the bottom left, it sits in what seems the neutral position… I cant remember if it did this before or if this "normal" for this model… I was in 2wd when i had the drama though so… I know they are constantly turning on this model though.
Ive had plenty of 1kz's but never a 1kd so any isights would be good. I ordered new cv's and front wheel bearings and hubs which i'll throw in anyways just as maintenance. Its got 240,000 unknown kms on it before me - what should I be looking for with this model? Any dead giveaways?
Cheers boys, I really dont need this, I was just about to pull down the EGR system and do the injectors etc… I spent last week doing the belts and cleaning the intercooler etc… and 3 days from hell removing stuck exhaust studs at the turbo end.
It's still better than the GU i had after my 1kz though… that thing was a proper lemon!
