Thread: clicking noise in rear diff of td5 defender

Have you spoken to Mal about it or not bothered and just ignore it.

Baz.

I've just ignored it really, and never bothered to ask Mal. Once I worked out when it triggered I never bothered with it. I still don't know why it does it now. It seems like that if yours is doing it also, it then has something to do with the axle halfshafts used. I wonder if the splines are slightly different somehow and its just moving?

Mine is loudest on the passenger side rear, it does click in normal road driving but not as loud as when offroad with the CDL engaged.

Strange
