| Post subject: | rear diff seal, bearing change-vibration?? |
G'day I've noteiced that the rear diff seal leaks from behind the tailshaft flange. Mostly when workin hard. I had a little vibration on driveline. I install axle castor shims and vibration were gone. I moved axle backwards for about 17mm, installed new springs and anti wrap bar, and I have a lot of vibratons on driveline. I though that my tailshaft is to short now, due to castor angle shims and new springs. I installed spacer but it still vibrates.t I can't be the angle (it's double cardon one) and it's not too short. I've noticed that there is a play on the flange. In that case it might be the bearing. I know that there are 2 in the diffhousing, big and small. I've read somewhere on the forum that I is easy to stuff up things with the diffs. What do you think? Do I have to rebuild diff or it's just bearings, Is it hard to do it (apart from undoing that big flange nut) or should I have it done by diffs specialist and if so any ideas how much could it cost? cheers Chris |

when you say there is play in the flange, do you mean rotational movement (about 1/8 of a turn can be considered normal) or do you mean up/down, left/right movement,if this is the case then the bearings are shot and the diff needs rebuilding. If you don't know what your doing it would be wise to get a professional to do it for you. setting the preloads and backlash is not a job for the inexperienced and you need a few special tools. it may be easier to find another diff centre and drop it in. chances are if the bearings are flogged out the gears might be stuffed anyway. |
