Topic: something poping in the front of my IFS when in 4x4

[furrballs95]

i have a 95 toyota p/u thats ifs and there is something poping in the front end when its in fourwheel drive can anyone help me out with this? i had recentley changed out the whole front center section cause i blew out my ring gear in the original one but i had the other one of my other yota so i just swapped that in but now there is somnething making a noise and i have no idea what it is

1. Do the gears match up?  If they're close, 4.88 and 4.56, it may go in 4 wheel, but it won't like it.  Probably a stupid question, but might as well cover all bases.

2. Half shaft may be going out.  When does it pop?  If it pops when you are turning, and does a soft click going straight, could be a half shaft.  Kragen has them for $90, with a lifetime warranty. 

3. Locker?  that could be the locker popping, which you may wanna look at, bewcause it shouldn't pop when you're going straight.  My first thought is a half, but those usually don't pop real loud, except when they actually let go.

Hope this helps.

the gears match cause i drive it on the road cause we get alot of snow up here but it doesnt pop when i am driving down the road. i was running some trails the other night and i was in low range when i noticed it. and it wasn't really doing it when i turned and i don't have a front locker so

sounds to me like your half shaft you can sometimes grab ahold of it a shake it and tell if the broken on the cv

its not like a klunking sound like a half shaft would make. its like a thud or a pop i can feel it under my feet on the floor it seems like it does it when the suspention crompresses but i'm not really shure

mine did that all the time when i would turn al the way=the steering stops rub on the control arm and squeek and pop real loud.
but it only did this at full turn or close to it

[furrballs95 [OP]]

What about a faulty hub?

[furrballs95 [OP]]

i,ll look into those things thanks for the help guys i'll let you kno if i find anyhting.

[whiteman]

Could be a hub going out.  Mine does it but only when there is a lot of pressure on the front, hence when the suspension is compressed.

My other guess would be a CV, or....Hmmm.   Maybe your housing is loose and clunking around?
 Make sure every thing is tight, even t-case and crossmember.

[furrballs95 [OP]]

well i'll check those things out not really shure yet i don't think its a hub cause i have already had those off and put them back together but i'll check it out . I need a chaw  and a

Do you have a lift kit in the front? If it does you could be pulling the half-shaft out of the diff. If you have removed one you know there is only a small ring that holds them in and if you hyper-extend the shafts they will pull out. Usually they can be popped back in with a short 2x4 and a hammer.

[Rocksurfer]

Also if that was the problem make sure that the ring didn't pop off the shaft and drop into the diff.
