bigo1966 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Is the EA82 D/R viscousily coupeled? I took the sedamn out yesterday and after a few hours of wheeling no more 4wd. No noises to indicate damage just stoped. Any thoughts? Orion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 AFAIK they are not viciously coupled. It's all gears. I have never heard of one losing 4WD, I have heard of gears not working and I had one that reverse died, but never broken 4WD. Hmmmm, I dunno? Maybe the linkage broke and it looks like you're in 4WD? That's weird! Hopefully someone else chimes in! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Did it loose the front or rear drive of 4x4? I have heard and been warned of stripped outputs on these. I have also heard of people running these in 4x4 as an RWD for years with success. I'd lock it in 4x4, and then get under and try to turn the driveshaft.

akc Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 our old Subaru we had years ago would just pop out of 4wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You may have broken a CV in you're rear axle. Even breaking one on an open diff will cause all rear drive to be gone. My second guess would be a stripped rear output. it is only about 1/8th in nubs that engage via the 4wd shift collar. not much really, they can strip But check both rear axles first. Put the car in the air, hold the inner CV cup from underneath, and have someone try to spin the tire. you may find one of the joints will just be broken inside, and spinning.

bigo1966 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Cool, thanks for the feedback. Ill check it out soon. I hope its something simple. I have a spare trans but im hoping its something simple. What confuses me is there was no pop grind or anything indicating 4wd is gone. Hopefully its just the linkage or something. Ill update later. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yep. it was the right rear CV joint. I think it did it here: Too much droop with the new rear coils and 4th great slinging mud and water may have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
