hello i am new to this forum and i found it very interesting. i have a 1988 2.5 pajero and for about a month when i put in 4wd when the car moves there is a clinking noise from the front of the car. there is the noise also if car is free but in 4wd and moves down a hill or when you drive. when in 2 wd there is no noise. does anyone knows what it might be? thanks

'88 i take it its a mk I then mate, sounds like hubs clicking. try reversing to free them up, or jack front of car up so see if it has ' wind up' jacking up should free it.

61jason61 i tried reversing and the noise is still there. the noise comes when i put 4wd and stops when i put it again in 2 wd so the hubs should free. could it be something in the front shafts or something else

Hi all, Newbie here Very Happy

Got a cuple of questions.
1st. When and How i do i use the Center-Diff? Ie. Do i just put it in CD and go off road and if i need to use 4Hlc its ready or only use CD once I'm in 4Hlc??????? Confused

2nd. In the first post, it said use "4H when towing or in snow" I was under the impression 4H could only be used offRoad not on tarmac etc..

Sorry for the Newbb questions. I'v only ever had experience with part time 4WD, Landcruiser Smile

, my current frontera Shocked

. All these new gadgets and gizmos are a bit new to me Embarassed

Ps. My frontera is no more. It had died, but has served it purpose Well Exclamation

Between the front and rear axles on the vehicle without super select is a simple transfer case where you pull a lever and it moves a splined thingie and locks it solid between front and rear outputs. On one with super select it locks it solid as well but then goes through another diff to allow movement. This is the centre diff which you then go on to lock.

Once the centre diff is locked on super select box and the older box is put in 4x4 then the transfer cases will behave identically. ie. Solid drive front and rear.

Drive flanges don't have anything to do, they are just like having your manual hubs always in. If you under stand their point then that should make sense? Just means you don't need top hop out of the vehicle to put it in 4WD (at the front wheels) as it is always engaged (front diff and cv's always turning).

The manual or auto hubs and fixed drive flanges lock the axle at the most outer end of the CV and front driveline to the hub. The reason you would have hubs is to reduce wear and tear on the front diff, and cv's when you are on the hard surfaces as you can unlock them. Which means when you are in 2WD at the transfer case with the hubs unlocked the front diff and cv's are not turning no matter what speed you are doing. If you put it in 4WD at the transfer case but leave your hubs unlocked then you are still in 2WD, the diff and cv's will be turning but its not connected to anything.
