Are you driving round in diff lock? If so it will either be your diff or half shaft gone Thanks Jim.

Could be as simple as a drive flange. Jack up a rear wheel, stick it in difflock, if it spins full circle its broken. If it locks that side is ok, check the other. |

getting more confused;
originally heard some clunking in low speed under load, then had only drivers side front spinning in the mud, no 4wd. jacked up 2 back wheels and found power to rear only. jacked up all 4 and have power from transfer box to all 4. No damage to shafts. some slop in front between drive flange and wheels a little residue on sump magnet-- transfer box removed inspection plate for t box and gears good lock diff shift good box, HRC 2815 1 anyone had similar scenario? Is there a big change under load, and I'm seeing different results because its jacked up? Thx for any help! |

Is your diff lock engaging properly?
All of the behaviours above may happen if the centre diff is unlocked. |

you may see different response with it jacked up.
As blackwolf said with what you have described above that is all normal with the centre diff unlocked. if you tried the same (dont!) with the middle diff locked when you jacked up the rear only it would drive off the axle stands as front axle would (or should!) be receiving drive. sonds to me like your centre diff lock is not engaging. Do the test as suggested above, lock the centre diff, jack up one wheel at a time, it shouldnt turn far before locking up. not teaching to suck eggs but you are aware with out the middle diff locked only one wheel is guaranteed to turn? with diff lock in one wheel on each axle is guaranteed to turn. This is excluding any action from ETC. Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |
