How would I test? Visual inspection or the old pry bar? Cheers.

Got registered today happy days!

Also the knocking isn't suspension, it sound like the transfer case hitting something. It's on the very left hand side... Trans mount?

Probably the t/case hitting the bash plate, this is a result of a sagged rear mount...

Check the gap, if it's close remove the bash plate, if the noise stops swap the mount....

Will do, that's the smart way of doing things... Thanks! Also the crank sensor made the car way better. It actually starts and doesn't cark it after 30 mins. Install was easy peasy on my jeep.

Also, copping a big clunk when I put it in gear or let off the accelerator whilst driving.... Possible its a badly greased slip yoke?
