Front prop

Evans4x4 · 05-09-2013, 16:30

Just had another look underneath and the front prop has a good inch of movement either side is this normal ? And the dreaded squeak from it seems to be in the box at the front of the prop (any ideas) the ujs look ok on there so doesn't look like those ??

Cant think where you could get 1" of movement on a prop unless it was about to fall in half

the best first aid you should apply is to remove said prop for the time being.
Before it damages anything more expensive.

of course, but 4WD will not be an option until you replace it.

I will pop it off tommorow and see if it stops the noise but I do think the noise is in the box in front of the prop
