I pulled both my axles to replace the diff shaft seals on my transmission a couple of weeks ago and have noticed my diff is now making a loud clicking noise if I rock the car back and forth. Is this normal? I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid and it was there before I did the work.
There is play in the shaft, with the back wheels off the ground I can rotate the wheel a little either way before the diff engages. The video below is the car parked and me just rocking it back and forth. I torqued the trans flange bolt to 19ft/lbs. https://youtu.be/_Fd0a1WgzHM |

Reusing the output hub flange bolts is fine, but it's recommended to use new bolts for the CV joints.
Does the clicking only emanate from one side of the trans? I wonder if you have a bad CV joint on your hands? |
