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 |

I'm not the expert that Racer Chris is, but as he described, mine felt "loose". The inner race moved a lot more than it should when shaken back and forth holding just the outer part compared to the new one. There was "play", but it wasn't obvious until you compared it to a new one. With a V8 you'll find out right away if yours are OK or not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif).
BTW Chris has a great solution to the 914 CV problem. I didn't find anything else out there like it. Well..except for NOS 914 CV's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) . |
