Hey, Ive got a 96 Disco. 130,000 miles.. 3in springs and shocks, besides that its stock....
Went offroading this past weekend, and got stuck in a nasty hole... After I was pulled out by a f150 aided by a come-along I noticed that It was acting funny in 4-lo with CDL locked.... acted cluncky and made noise.. It seemed fine in 4-hi and without CDL for that Day...

a few days and maybe 25-50 miles later.. there is a knocking sound coming from the rear when going very slow 5mphish... I noticed it while parking. It knocks about every 2 or 3 wheel rotations, and when I go faster it seems to stop. I thought it was a rear bearing going bad, so I replaced the bearings.. they were fine and its still knocking! Im thinking it could be drive shaft, rear diff, or axle shaft maybe.. but also I jacked up each wheel individually, put it in drive for each and let the lifted wheel spin ... no knock... so it only knocks when 2 or more wheels are spinning... Im afraid to drive any more because it sounds like a serious knock that'll become something much worse soon...Any advice? Thanks
