hey guys jus wondering, is the rear drive shaft suppose to have any play in the axel.
i can turn 1/8th of a turn before the axel engages. the driveline specialist put my locker in so i wouldnt have thought it would be that.
thanks

im asuming you mean diff rather than axle. there should be a small amount on play. (the proper term is back lash) an 8th of a turn sounds like a lot |

auto lockers can cause an increase in backlash, enough to fail some rwc inspections. |

would this cause the villant vibration at speed? and is it adjustable? the driveline specialsist are the only ppl who touched it so shouldn't be that bad. |

I only notice the back lash when first starting off, that is a bit of slack and sometimes a small clunk before drive. Not noticed any other issues. Never assume an expert hasn't made a mistake. Specialists are human, too {just  }
Vibrations can have many causes, uni joints, tailshaft dents,wheel bearings, diff bearings, mud stuck to wheel rims, so can be hard to find. |

Back lash of diff is adjustable, but slack in auto locker is in the design |

ok was hoping that at first the vibration came at high speed but when i took accelerater of it stoped completly and wheel and inner bearings are new, so cant be wheels as well. i fixed the uni's and the vib is only at high speeds now but noe still there when accelerater is off. |

try engine mounts, they can break and/or stretch without looking so. vibrations change with engine movement |
