Hi - Hope somebody can help out on this ??


I've just replaced the front mount on the rear diff. I removed the center bolts on the LHS & RHS mounts to do this. The new mount is now in place and all bolts re fitted.

Just went for a test drive and I now have a wheering/grating sound coming from the rear diff area. The sound is only apparent when I'm free wheeling (in gear) or dip and raise the clutch.

I though it might be that I've slightly move the prop out alignment, but looking at the marks on the mounts they all line up.

Any ideas ??

Thanks

Jamie

Last time I had a noise from the rear dif the oil had run a bit low, worth checking and will only cost a few quid too replace, tis a bit fiddly though

Thanks - I'll check that tomorrow when I have some light.

Just seems fuuny that there was no noise before i replaced the mount..

The rear dif (final drive) is for want of a better word a TW*T. The slightest movement or oil loss when messing in this area can create some quite unique noises!
Hope you get it sorted

Intetsting thread I had the droplink replaced last week after an mot fail and when I turn sharp right get a similar sound
