Thread: noise question

howdy all after much analyising trying to find this scraping hollow sound I did replace the rear output flange on my 300tdi defender
im wondering is it possible for it to be the mud shield on the transfer output flange touching the sound is doing my head in, had the rear maxis out, checked everything I cant think of what else it could be. cheers all.

I have had two universal joints fail on different vehicles about 40 years apart.

The first one sounded exactly like a stick caught under the vehicle scraping on the ground.

The second one sounded a bit like a bearing squeaking.

Check your uni joints.
