Just a gentle nip with a ring spanner so you can see if it turns. If it has loosened, a blob of loctite should hold it.

Before doing that, the Sport doesn't usually have a tool tray, and the ply cover may be glued down, but I would remove the cover, and go for a drive with the roof up, and a passenger who can lean over and do a visual on the rear end.



Dave, a 2009 4/4 has the Salisbury axle in combination with the Ford gearbox?


The axles have all been BTR since the late 1990's....
