diff bearings

Post by bobfish45 »

Been away this weekend, and the vibration in the car under acceleration has been bad. I've been thinking, engine mounts, gearbox, drive shaft inner joints, etc, etc. So I had it up on the ramp today, and I'm flabbergasted by how sloppy the diff bearings are. I can move the driveshafts up and down unbelievably. I had known they were on the way out but not so drastically. So, spare box in and box rebuild, hopefully next week. Maybe a rebuilt Getrag box for sale soon!!!
