I have a 98 model case 580l that seems to be noisy when switching from forward to reverse or reverse to forward when in 4wd. There is a clunking noise when I change directions. It is not as noticeable when not in 4wd. Anybody have any ideas about this?
Take a look at how much fwd & backward movement the front axle has at the pivot pin. Take the weight of the machine with the loader, till the front wheels are just touching the ground & get out & rock the axle fwd & back, by hand. Fit the shim to the front end of the pivot, not the rear.
My 4WD 580SL does the same thing it sounds pretty rough sometimes.Mine really pops when i take it out of 4WD going down the road since it time delays to disenguage. Try to come to a complete stop before you change dirrections it is hard to do sometimes.
