Diff question???

Backlash should be about 10-15 thou. so you diff is in for a major O/haul. Barnray

Backlash is measured by holding the pinion and moving the crown wheel back and forth and checking with a dial indicator. B

Thanks guys, yeah i think it might be due but at $500 approxiamately for a crown and pinion????

Unless someone has a job for me in I.T.

1: computers

2: 4wd driving

3: internet shopping.

Oh bearings feel fine as well!!!!!

The wierd noise is vibration and a rumbling soundish type of thing!!!!

Difs dont normaly viabrate sounds more like Uni joints???? Daryl

dbish

yes they will, if you dont run the correct LSD oil.

LSD oil is self depleting and useualy has a life of 20 to 30 thou ks and needs to be changed religiously. read yor service book, it says it all.

I learnt this by listning to a diff specialist.

Changing the oil can have a big impact on a vehicle.

Oils and Filters are cheap

Well last night i got out the feeler guages and selected a few, then narrowed it down to one that said 15, inserted between pinion and crown and tried to move the crown, there was bugger all movement from anywhere. I don't have a dial indicator, the feeler guages is all i had. So then if Barnray is correct, the diff is still within tolerances, no blame apportioned to Barnray if i surmise wrong.

I plan do rebuild the rear end soon. i have the wheel bearings kits all i need now is a rebuilt diff.

So if i get all of the stuff and take the unit down to the diff blokes will they finish the diff off to spec's?

i only get the best oil's and lubes, due to the fact it is cheap insurance!!

new oil: $40
new filter: $ 15

new motor: $ 1000

just doesn't balance does it.

So amen to that brother!!!!

Got quoted like anywhere from 600 to 1200 dollars. last diff i had done was by a young bloke who does them for a living!
