I have a 92 4Runner. We went away last week and during the trip (on some full on rough tracks in the Flinders Ranges) a noise developed under the car. When I inspected it I noticed that the front RH drive shaft flange is a bit wobbly at the diff end - the stub shaft moves about a bit where it enters the front diff. It all seems to work OK - drives fine in 2WD (drove home 550km last Wednesday with no problems whatsoever), and it still works fine in both low and high 4WD. It appears to have thrown out either grease or oil over the suspension.
My first thought was that the bearing in the diff may have collapsed but if that was the case there would be a horrible crunching noise and things would have come to a halt. The noise is more of a slight rattle.
Can anyone shed some light on what the problem might be and whats involved in fixing it?
Cheers
