I hope this is the right discussion area. I have a strange clicking sound that seems to be coming from the rear of my 3.2 DiD LWB GLX when I reverse or pull off on slight slope. It mostly happens when the vehicle is cold and only does it once so is not a continuous noise. Has anyone had a similar sort of problem to this and any idea what it could be? It hasn't effected the performance of the vehicle to date.
Click like almost Bic pen click? If so then it is dry splines on the rear shaft. I had it many moons ago and the dealers at that stage struggled to sort it out. In the end the said that they swapped the right and left shafts around and the noise went away. Not sure if that is what they really did but it did not return. I will try and find my posts on this, but it was a very long time ago. I only had it from the one side(right rear).

Found the link. It was posted on the Australian Pajero forum. Not sure if you will be able to read it without membership there. If you cant give me a shout and I will copy the important bits over to here.
Basically it is reasonably common. It seems to be fixed by removing the splines and cleaning them with a wire brush and then refitting with some good quality grease. Some say wheel bearing grease, others said other dry lubricants. You then put them back and redo the nut back to its very high torque figure, think it was something like 200nm, and the noise should be gone. As I said earlier, apparently mine was swapped left to right, but this is not needed it seems.

Hi Cats. Thank you very much for the reply and effort to find this info. I will get my mechanic to have a lok at this and then let everyone. I really do appreciate the effort. Thanks
Hi there
RE: CLICKING NOISE ON REAR DIFF WHEN PULLOFF AND BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE
Followed the above, we stripped drive train, couldnt find anything, read on and then took of rear wheel hubs and found the left hand side with a "rust" residue between sideshaft and wheel hubs. Cleaned the splines and lubed with copper slip, --- this solved the problem, we checked and lubed right hand side too.
Thanking you for your Info
