Rear diff

Well went to the garage yesterday and put it up on the ramps, it seems the sprint day possibly did my rear diff in. I dont know if its normal but whilst holding a driveshaft and rotating the propshaft I could tun the propshaft about 1/2-3/4 of an inch before it engaged on the driveshafts is it me or does it sound like a planet gear is shot?

When i get back il have a see as mine is up in the air on axle stands so will see if mine is the same bud

Ok cheers leighton, i hope i havent knackered it though 71,100 miles maybe it could do with a rebuild

Right i went under and had a apin and there seems to me a slight play on the diff about 1/4 inch play if you hold the prop and turn the shaft but if you turn the prop there is no plplay rhe other way round the shaft moves straight away with no play mate hope that help . did you change the oil the other day ?

No havent had any money to do anything recently, and thanks for doing that mate it looks like maybe one of the planet gears may be slightly shagged out

Mines very clonky, pretty much been like that since i bought it Changed the oil every year and it seemed ok, done 45,000miles so far...

im just worried as it only started doing making the noise after the sprint day

just change the oil to 75/140w, rear diff failure is rare.
