I am having an issue with my hubs if in 4x4 high & low and my hubs locked, I have this random grinding/clunking noise which lasts a few seconds then dissapears. if I leave the hubs locked and drive around in 2wd, it does the same random noise. I have pulled apart the drivers side, and noticed some slop between the spindle shaft (part of the CV) and the spindle carrier, it turns out Toyota calls them steering knuckle bushings. I plan to replace them (both in and outer) but I would like to know whether this could be the most likely culprit, or if anyone knows the specification on the wear tolerences for these bushings?
any help is appeciated thanks.
