Should there be any play in a rear diff, was getting a vibration that was getting worse.
With the rear end off the floor, I can get about 10deg of movement in the wheel till it starts to move the output shaft to the prop.
I am assuming that the pinion and crown wheel should be fully meshed.
Have dropped the prop off and no vibration at all.
Had a recon vcu with bearings from bell less than 12 months ago, there does not appear to be any wear in prop shaft wheel bearing and rear drive shafts, I my mind I am nearly sure it is the diff that's faulty, never had to do a diff before so are unsure if the play is normal or not as would not want to change it and not solve the problem, its a TD4 and the old girl had done 190k, apart for this she is running really well.
