    Thanks Zook will drop the tailshaft this week and inspect. Drove from Kurrajong to Blacktown this morninig and there was not even a hint of any strange sound coming from the vehicle (about an hours nervous drive).

    Praying that the handbrake scenario is the issue. One of the guys suggested pulling the handbrake on ever so slightly when moving to see if I could reproduce the sound (tried it and I could feel it apply but with no sound). Am assuming that the brake would need to be binding for some period of time before it started to heat up and make a racket???

    after driving for a few minutes at speed it would get hot if it was binding.....
    the hotter it gets the more it expands.....and grips even more again.....
    it may have broken a spring.....and not pulled the shoe off the drum...it may have frozen if you were in the mountains.....


    or....it might not have released properly...stayed on one click without the warning light coming on on the dash......
    see if there is any movement in the drum up and down or left to right before you pull it off....

    You would be right, coz I remember now when my diff blew I put the front freewheel hubs out and selected 2wd- then the noise stopped
    Funny thing was it did it on a good road.
