I am going to try and explain this as best as i can, so bear with me.
I have been noticing a strange clunking noise from the rear of my car lately, like a metal on metal ping. Long story short, after checkig every possible thing I started looking at the axles. I can grab either rear wheel (while the cars lifted) and shake, and there is definitely play, and it makes a strange noise..
Also, whenever I take a turn at slow speeds, like less then 5 mph I hear a clunking noise, It makes me think the spider gears are slipping up.
So, what should I do??
I have pretty much nailed it down to a bad diff, or one that is going bad..
Does any concur?
How hard is it to swap differentials and axles (frpp 31 spline, moser)?
How does one shim the carrier?
