It's whining a little under deceleration .
It's gonna be easier to buy a complete axle get it stripped powder coated and fit new bushes .
Then just swap it out .

could do with a full axle / subframe bob ..
When i stripped the back end off 3 / 4 years ago one of the bolts that hold the diff inplace sheered it's cative nut .
Was unable to remove the diff then coz couldn't undo bolt .

Thinking i can get a full subframe and swap the lot out .
You got anything thats had axle bushes etc done ?

Wouldn't mind i had one about 7 years ago and i weighed it in ..

Think I'll be saying yes to that and the diff.
Don't suppose any of the subframes are freshly powder coated ?
Is a long shot

Oh and I'm five minutes from bob and work near the powder coaters who did my sub frame and arms last year and wasn't that expensive (think it was 150 for the lot).  I had the frame, 6 arms and 3 exhaust brackets all powder coated, if you wanted me to get it powder coated before bob sends it out
