Gidday team,
Was looking for a low speed rattle in my PZ70 and have tracked it down to what seems like a toasted front output shaft bearing on my transfer case. It was so wobbly I thought the prop shaft was going to just fall off in my hand.
Can't figure out how it has happened as I rarely actually use 4x4 in my daily driver. From what I'm reading it could be dud u joints e.t.c. but anyway... My query today is whether the front output shaft bearing can be replaced in situ?
From everything I can find, it looks like the whole t/case is going to have to come out, which of course means I may as well do a full overhaul but someone here may know a sneaky workaround that I can't yet see or comprehend.
It's a bit of a prick with cashflow at the moment but it's just one of those things to fix aye.
Cheers,
Kempy
