Click Noise from Rear Axle Area
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

SITUATION:
REAR AXLE CLICKING NOISE
When moving the gear selector lever from the "D" (drive) position to "R" (reverse) or from "R to "D" a clicking noise may be heard from the rear axle
area. The noise may be the result of movement between the axle shaft spline and the drive flange. The differential flange to pinion spline can exhibit the
same symptoms.
RESOLUTION:
NOTE:
This TIB supersedes and replaces the information contained in TIB 51/01/98/NAS SECURE AXLE SHAFT SPLINE TO HUB JOINT
When a customer complains of these symptoms, or if the axle is apart for other work, Range Rover vehicles prior to the above VIN should have the axle
shaft spline-to-hub joints secured using Loctite 648. Apply the Loctite using the procedure outlined below.
The rear differential flange to pinion spline for Range Rover and Discovery Series II models up to the above VINs can be corrected for a "click" sound
with assembly using Loctite 648 also. When a vehicle after the above VINs is disassembled for repair, Loctite 648 should be used as part of the assembly
process.
