Thanks Joe.
Update (sorry I have hijacked the thread) on my noise etc. Basically on driving it today, the jolt and noise are most apparent on moving from static in 1st, or from 1st to second. Note that this can be almost entirely negated by feathering the clutch. Seems to emanate from the rear, or at least that is where the slack seems to be picked up. Repeating yesterday, when driving at 90km if I lifted gently and reapplied gently, no clunck, making me think yesterday was more just about hearing things that weren’t there and some rough driving style. Also, throughout the exercise there were no defined bangs (as opposed to gentle slack clunk), if I feathered the clutch, and this included accelerating, bends, hairpins, etc. This makes me wonder if either the A-frame ball joint or damper bushes are to blame as surely these noises would be apparent in any movement of the rear quarters? I’ve been testing with the window open and music off!! Also, with regard to the diff, how quickly/suddenly can they fail? I changed the oil only six months ago and the removed oil had no filings in it that might indicate wear? Any further thoughts? Would feather overcome the flange wear/slack? Could this be a dud clutch? What signs if there were transfer box problems. Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

I would suggest you drive (not to fast, straight) with central diff locked. If you have a major improvement then I would blame the central diff (but not only). Puma 110" SW

Can you pin point a specific scenario on road it does it or is it sporadic? Sometimes, downhill, uphill or flat road with different leadings front to rear can make a difference. Damper bushes normally cause a shunt-shunt-shunt knock and goes if you gently accelerate or brake.
Driveline tends to be a single knock on braking or acceleration, A frame at low speed moving off etc. Rear halfshaft spline wear I found causes the hand brake to allow excessive body movement once handbrake engaged especially on an incline of any orientation. UJ wear is best detected by prop removal in my opinion, I checked mine many times in situ and showed no sign but it did straight away when removed. Output adaptor shaft wear would likely be in all scenarios if hade thought even in in-gear over run. Although I’m no expert abd don’t profess to be. Many others hate more knowledgable than me here by far but I’ve found these things many a time to be bushes rather than other things. But there are exceptions of course.

I think you're over-thinking it. It's far more likely to be a shock bush or ball joint. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought!" - Princess Leia |

rear half shaft Disco 1/2 and Defender 90 were the same. 110 had salisbury so different rear shafts
with Puma 110 onwards and P38 rear diff i think you will find that Disc 1,2 90 and 110 rear shafts are now the same. Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

It would be interesting to know the rating of those one piece shafts. Puma 110" SW

I could be. Finally looked at the bush, clearly gone.

That could be the culprit. I imagine if you have one like that then it would be sensible to overhaul all the shock bushes ! I would https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/

Does anyone have any tips for changing those top bushes at home properly or is a press a necessity?

No press needed, some washing up liquid as lube helps. It's an easy job.

So a vice then and sockets similar to the process of swapping the prop UJ's I assume.

I vaguely remember using a G-cramp to squeeze the new ones in, but I've renewed mine several times and never had any difficulty. It's easier than doing a propshaft uj.
