Default New high speed hum and clicking noise at low speeds from front drivetrain.

After a hard day in the beach the Jeep developed loud humming noise at speeds just below 100 kph and clicking/metal to metal clank noise coming from the front drive line when turning with wheels at full left or right lock.




What could it be? Drive shaft or CV joints.

Any suggestions?

It could be from CV's could also be the CV on the front driveshaft too.

Do you have quadratrack? How many Km's are on the car?

Perfect stuffed CV symptoms, beaches are good for that, spinning the wheels hard when you have plenty of lock

Looks like a drive shaft is a culprit.


Removed it today and everything is now nice and quiet. The rear boot on the shaft looks mortally wounded too.

Any suggestion what is the best way to replace the drive shaft? What are my options?

Drive Shafts:
The front drive shaft has replacable bearings.
Front shaft rear bearing: hardy-spicer CV-861 (same as on a BA XR
Front shaft front bearing: TBA

Info from Everything 2.7CRD sticky, buy bearing from local bearing shop, easy to replace and get a new boot for the front and repack it while your at it, if it looks dodgy can get a new bearing from a drive shaft/axle shop easy enough, just forget to get the number when I was there ages back. Don't go genuine.

hardy-spicer CV-861 aren't cheap, if you have the time to wait try one of these

Have had one on my Grand 12 months 25 thou K's without an issue.

I did a bit of a write up with pictures, I'll see if I can find the link.

New & Old


Number stamped on old CV, don't know if this will help ME66739AGJ 010B & GKN IND 2081630 0106 ZOB


"C" clip that holds the CV on
