    cv gone?

    on the glass house trip yesterday with vlad and crew i noticed a problem with the disco , when shifting the transfer lever to diff lock the light didnt come on and when climbing a hill there didnt seem to be any pulling feeling. after airing up and returning home the car would occaissionly give a shudder i put this down to mud in the wheels but as i was in the streets near home and the windows open i could hear the front wheels chirping as if the front axle was locked . only locker is in the rear and was in open cdl long before we left the forest. then as i was about to drive up onto my drive the car gave a distinct shudder again ? at no time did we hear any crunching grinding or snapping noise when out for the day. i'll hit it with the hose but a quick look yesterday i saw nothing out of place any ideas?

    Not sure about the shudder, but perhaps the CDL just hasn't locked.
    Cheers

    havent thort much about the thud but CVs are usaly clicking when terning if there on the way out, drain the front diff oil, cheak the plug for big bits of metel,, could of broken the center pin on the spider gears, seen them in three peaces but the car still drove,

    mine did the chirping thing when the pin let go in my rear diff, although my wheels locked up at one stage, ended up tearing the housing open like a can opener, rear wheels im talking about, not front
