Play in prop shaft (diff end)

[fax0815]

You didn´t mention anything about whining before...

From far away diagnosis:

If it sort of sounds like mine, I suspect the knocking beeing more like a "clonk" noise during load changes (i.e. suddenly getting on/off throttle)? In that case it will be caused by the excessive backlash on the inputshaft you described earlier. Excessive backlash = worn/ badly set up final drive

I recon your diff, might be fine, cause you said it still locks allright, but I´m just guessing here! OEM final drives take a lot of abuse on standardish power and it will make a lot more noises before it starts breaking teeth. I was going to drive mine to the end, but I could bare the noise!!!


BUT again get a 2nd opinion!!! I might be 100% wrong and you have a broken spider gear or broken clutch plates, could be anything unless I´ve seen it in person.

Just saying, if you get it to our shop I´m sure we can sort something out...
