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 |

The cv is welded to the axle? I'd toss that axle and get a used one. The other CV that has no circlip is a disaster waiting to happen. The cvs are not reversible. You should return all that hacked up crap to original. I don't know about the van cv's, but the type I vw's will fit but lacks the machined lip that the gasket sits on.
