    Front axle spline/CV problems - D2

    Hi all. I just (late last week) had the front CVs etc replaced on my 02 D2. The splines were showing signs of twisting and were causing clicking noises. The new front end now only clicks once on take off now and again and not constant like before on take off where it was clicking away a number of times before getting going. And towing it used to be very bad now towing it clicks each time off the mark (2 tonns) but nowhere near as bad as before. The front end also used to click rocking on the handbrake but doesnt do that now. My question is do the axles to CVs click a bit as standard. Mine is a manual so I put a fair bit of instant toque on the drivetrain that autos dont do. This front end has only lasted me 143,000 - had vehicle since new. Given that its a 2 grand job to replace the front end im keen to avoid doing it again...

    Cheers

    My Maxi axles click too, but only in low range with the centre diff locked

    Simon, is there a way to fix this or is it not worth bothering??

    Usually a single click from the front axle is loose bolts on the leading arms where they attach to the axle.

    Gday Baz,

    I'm not sure to be honest. I've never tried to fix it and never worried too much.
