After owning my 90 for a while and working on both axles to some degree of confidence, I have now got a 110 as well. Unfortunately the Salisbury axle seems to have a lot of play in it, and sometimes makes a real clunking sound when turning a corner at slow speed. I thought initially it was me overadjusting the handbrake and the tight spot on the drum was causing a shock through the rear drive train. I have backed off the drum adjuster which helped, but now the noise has returned. I have replaced the drive flanges on both shafts, but the new OEM or G suffix flanges don't seem much tighter. I have the chance of some drum brake Salisbury shafts to try to see if that helps. If there really is that much wear, is it better to get a complete secondhand axle ? I thought they were pretty robust, but I guess the 110 has done 175,000 miles.
Will worn CWP shim up or is a new one required if it's that far gone?

Cheers

Eeeek, well, I'll start stripping off the back cover and see if I can figure out the slack in the system. I have rebuilt an Opel mata diff before which is the same type.

So, after a few weeks, I have made some further checks. The axle is nowhere near as bad as I thought, but the n/s halfshaft drive flange is still really slack, even with a new drive flange. So I'm trying a new halfshaft, and going from there. There is way more slack in the front diff, which I have two spares, and a prop if I need it. The back prop is also well worn, with slack in the slider, so I can see me changing that before long. Hopefully it's just small jobs and gradually working through all the niggles.

I've never seen a prop with slack in the slider... How are the ujs? I've always thought clunking on full lock is a cv on its way out? Sorry I'm not much help with the Salisbury side I never had to adjust mine.

If there's rotational slack in the prop slider, it's definitely time to replace it - it can throw up all sorts of noise. If the noise definitely only appears when cornering, I'd have a really close look at all the A frame components - you've probably already been there though.

To be fair, I can fit my 90 in the garage and leave the handbrake off, so it's easy to diagnose faults. At the moment the 110 won't fit so I am limited to my sloping drive, which is useless. Once I have got the Christmas junk tidied and my new metal workbench made mobile, I should be able to get the 110 in and have a proper look. The rear prop up was absolutely toast when I got it, but it was replaced to make it drivable, whilst I was doing the initial work to make it drivable. I'm not altogether sure it's straight though! Either it's bent or it's an optical illusion. Off to tidy the garage now then!

Get a straight edge against that prop, if it's bent the forces created could damage the gearbox/diff flanges.
