i have been rebuilding the swivel hubs and upgrading brakes on my 85 county. i have done the passenger side got it all put back together and went to turn it around so that i could start on the other side i drove about 2 metres and something made a loud crunching noise which stalled the engine. so i jacked it up to make sure that the wheels could still spin and every thing seems to be alright. it is my first time to do this job so i took my time and i am pretty sure i have done everything the right way. does anyone know what could have made that sound? before i go trying to move it again. any help would be much appreciated thanks

Im just in the middle of the same job on my 98 110. At a guess id say driveline. id be checking CV and inner axle shaft first. Also did you have the centre difflock engaged whilst working on it and forgot to release it?

No missing sockets?
