Im guessing your ring and pinion is probably a bit slack and so you've got a bit of movement on the prop? if thats the case, your better of just acquiring another diff or you can swop the front to the back.
The diff is making a chiming or metallic skimming noise at low speed. It's intermitent.It could be the roller bearing ,shim or spacers, or more likely the ring and pinion.
The prop is not making a noise that I can tell. There is a problem with the CV joint(s) (I think) because it binds in reverse on 3/4 to full lock in 4w drive.
I am planning to overhaul the whole of the front axle and suspension.
I was trying to avoid a 2nd hand diff because it's difficult to know what you are getting if you buy from a distance and it is delivered.
Thanks.
