loud nocking when turning right

[taylor1982 evo 5rs]

started a while back only happens when going slow, i have checked the drive shaft but there doesnt seem to be any obvious faults or play,

Front diff bolts have probably snapped or come loose inside the transfer box. Common fault

might sound daft but how would i go about finding out if this is the case plz

 

[JakeMac]

Need to remove the transfer box from the gear box, remove the diff casing and check the counter sunk bolts on the diff. There are walk thoughs dotted about on the net if you google it but would advise taking it to a specialist or competent garage.

I've got the 10.9 same as camskill are selling so just get them from them.

Transfer removal isn't too bad a job.
Drain gearbox and transfer box oils
Remove exhaust downpipe
Separate bottom ball joints and remove shafts transfer and gearbox ends using a pry bar. Don't just pull them.
Then using a slide hammer or similar to remove output shaft from transfer, there is a M8 thread in the end of shaft for you to wind a bolt into.
Then undo the 6 bolts that hold the transfer box in place. Box itself may require a bit of a jiggle to get it to separate. Be sure not to loose the small O ring seal which seals the breather between transfer and gearbox.
Then split the transfer box open and take the diff apart like I did on the above mentioned thread
