i have a 96 disco and as im coming to a stop there is a loud Clicking noise. I know that explains it all LOL. i feel it is in the drive shaft coming from the transfer case. so i got under there and the was some play in the shaft. i asume there is some play but how much is to much and if this is my problem how do i fix it. the slop is in the diff and the transfer case not the u joints in the shaft. thanks for the help. this is the best site for discos!

Justin I had the same problem it was the rear ujoint on the front shaft. There should be no up or down side to side play at your ujoint.

CV joint click when broken, too. Rather it be the U-joint.
