cronoz78 Posted June 24, 2019 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2019 I have been looking for a diff clunk. I have put in a isolator bushing at the top of the diff nose and still hear the noise (you can see it in the video) Recently, I went under the car and found the drive shaft had some play at the diff end, not at the U-joint though. See the video. Where can this slop be from? Is this normal? The diff gear mesh? How can I fix this? Thank you. 20190611_180511.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted June 24, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 24, 2019 Do the output shafts move when you do that? If they don't move, that is inside the diff. It could be re-shimmed but might not last or it could whine once it's re-shimmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronoz78 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted June 24, 2019 I don't believe so because the front wheels were on ramps and the rear was on the ground. Actually, the output shafts can still move if that play occurs in the diff. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted June 24, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 24, 2019 If there is slack in the output U-joints then the slack may be in the output shafts and not internal to the diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
