Birfields and noise
« on: Sep 17, 2009, 12:37:07 PM »
:help: Could someone please tell me the most common problems and noises associated with worn or broken birfields.
On a steep climb last week, nothing that a yota can't handle, I heard this loud clicking from the right side of the front end. Bearings and everthing else up front is new on both sides except the birfields. U-joints are new on both shafts. When the hubs are disengaged there is no noise so I suspect the birfields.
Thank you

Thank you for the offer, but first I need to determine the problem and just where the noise is coming from. I guess a teardown is in order to find the noise. I'll be in touch if I need them.

yep...tear that side apart and youll find out real quick what gave up.  Dont keep driving on it though...if it is a broken birf the fragments can get wedged up in the knuckle and unexpectedly affect your steering.
