Strange noise and vibration???maybe new problem!!

[damrabbit]

Past couple of days i have had a strange metallic "chinking/clickin" noise from the rear today jacked the back end up to spin wheels listening for noise and it appeared to come from the passanger side,Shook wheel to check for play ...nothing,took wheel off to look for anything no leaks or anything else that might be obvious so put the wheel back on
Took it for a spin up the road and it has developed a vibration not all the time but when it does appear its at the same time as the noise and is apparant when accelerating

Any ideas as to what it might be could it be the bearing even though theres no play and no leaks?or the diff? or propshaft even

Any help would be appreciatted as i am now on a tight time schedule with the welsh weekend in 5 days time and if it ain't fixed and i can't get the wife to let me take the jeep i won't be going

[damrabbit]

When did you grease the propshaft joints last? Could be one of them.

[alex]

Could be prop, hope its not the bearing.

[weave67]

just had a look bearing seams, fine prop could do with greasing up, and a new set of rear pads,and i think all will be good

[damrabbit]

will be ordering new pads tomorrow and get the prop greased and hopefully all will be good

many thanks weave for the help

[weave67]

no worries,,,,its what we do

[damrabbit]

Done the brakes and squeeged as much grease into prop as i could and all seems better now...Except when i had it jacked up on the one side i was turning the raised wheel to move prop so i could get at the nipple (stop laughing at the back) if iturned it slow no probs but when i turned it fast (checking for noises) it stopped dead as if it jammed or the brakes caught turned again slow it was fine,Fast stopped drove it down the road all seemed fine any ideas??

Does the code on the plate under the bonnet have G80 on it?

[damrabbit]

Had a look under the bonnet there are two plates 1 with the vin number and 1 on the bulkhead with loads of letters and numbers on it couldn't spot G80 on either

Was checking if you had LSD or open diff, you could test by jacking both wheels up and taking handbrake off, turn one wheel, if the other wheel turns he same way you have a limited slip diff lsd, if the other turns the opposite direction you have an open diff.

[damrabbit]

Deffo an open diff had it jacked up before and noticed the wheels turn opposite
