Ears can deceive and noises tend to transmit down body and propshaft etc.
An easy check and a very likely cause is the VCU bearings.
Simply unbolt and support the VCU clear of body then spin them by hand on the prop.
Check for backlash (free...
That is one of the 'pawls'. There is one for each dip and rise in the key. When correct key goes in they all line up level and the key will turn.
If it works with it out then all you have done is reduced the security a bit as another similar key...
Suppose it is possible that knackered injectors and a duff MAF may have been happy together and then making them injectors good upset things??
How is power, with and without MAF connected??
Shafts are same except sensor ring yes.
I would check fault codes. Sounds like a sensor may be damaged. Use a diagnostic like PScan and you can observe the speed of each wheel. If they are not the same then that one is faulty !

Can report back on ride and wet use but wear will take a little longer !!
If screws at bottom where it joins the sump cover, scrivets beneath number plate, screws under bonnet front edge, screws in plastic arch liner and 2 x 10mm bolts accessed through wing removable covers are all out then just flex one side of the...
If the piston is that tight then it is corroded and will not improve. Sometimes you can put a block of wood in the caliper and press the brake to expose the piston without popping it out !! Then pull back the rubber gaiter and check / clean the...
Well yes, but I was convinced I would be taking console out and stripping the thing and had little confidence that a £5 cleaning disc would work. But it did! Saved a couple of hours. It was a facelift multi cd in the dash.
Took the Sport 18 inch alloys for blasting and refinishing. They weren't bad at first glance but the insides were corroded. Will report back on finish. Looks to be a good place.
Flexplate is the effective flywheel for an auto. It bolts on where the flywheel comes off. Then it bolts to the torque converter on the auto box. The pilot bearing to come out is in the centre of the crank at the flywheel end.
