Rotational noise? Sounds like Tailshaft.

[bps79]

I was thinking (and hoping) it could be the centre bearing.What do they do when they fuck up

[Jonson]

Centre bearing can sag. When it sags it doesnt keep the tailshaft running true. You'll notice a vibration on take off, sometimes Decel. A Thud while moving could be a uni joint or flat spotted bearing....Maybe a fucked tyre if your lucky.

If it is a thumping noise under hard acceleration then it will be your carrier bearings on the tailshaft. Mine does the exact same thing and mine are shagged.

sweet no diff change for me:)

[bazeng]

carrier bearings are about 150 each..
fingers crossed that they are the problem...

[brisvr4]

Actually they can be had for about $75 each I think Barry.
I'll have to check though.
I have a set that Rob bought and the invoice was for $75 each. For that price you might as well have them changed
Driveline services in Brisbane sell em.

check the bushes on the arms that hold the diff too

could be your subwoofers TIC

mine has a similar noise/problem.... its only pretty much stock but when there is hard accel it feels like a back tyre is struggling for traction and there is a thumping noise... its most noticable in third but that may be because it spends longer in that gear so you have more of a chance to notice it... i was presuming/hopeing diff bushes... needless to say i'm very interested in the results as it gives me somewhere to look when i get home

$75 carrier bearing?? They're $250+ from mitsi!

Don't buy them from Mitsi then

[Jonson]

Or get a job at a Mitsu dealer and make friends with a parts interpreter.
