Thread: Broken RRC

Bite the bullet....do the hard yards... face the music and go for a substantialy long, highest speed possible/safe with minimal brake use... The idea is to see if you have mechanical dragging on any of your wheel-brakes or wheel bearings.

Jump out and feel the hand-brake drum after 5 minutes... and its Uni joint, plus the rear-shaft uni if you have one.... Also the front-shaft uni's.
Otherwise, feel each of the 4 wheel-rims for unusual heating., as well as the axle-ends for wheel-bearings.
If you have'nt roasted your hand.... drive longer and faster and try again.! - I'd be tempted to drive it till something goes Bang

That's my Last Great Idea.

Thanks guys for your continued helpful replies.
I've had the new tyres on (32's) for a few days now and the car has been terrific. I've checked for abnormally hot components after a long(120k) fast trip up the freeway but can find no fault. I've checked the brakes aswell as the handbrake and apart from needing new discs all round soon I can find no fault there either
I have jacked up each wheel individually and rotated them with the cdl engaged and disengaged and the difflock works as it should.it has worked perfectly since I removed the larger treaded tyre. Maybe that lessened any pressure in the transfer case that may have jammed high range. I'm not sure
So at the moment all I can do is enjoy the thing and keep an eye on tyre wear
