Diff repair or replacement
 
I've noticed recently that my diff is getting more sloppy especially when changing gear and decelleration. Its not so noticable on motorways but more at slow speeds when changing gears say from 1st 2nd 3 rd. Anyone can recommend a repairers or any ideas? :cool:

My subframe bushes are poly ones. Its defo the diff. Was thinking of getting my spare rebuilt but depends on whether the gears are in good nick.

Interesting post to follow.
After installing some poly bushes on my rear frame too, in the 1100/1300 rpm rage on acceleration or decceleration, i have a rear clunk noise probably the dif, like a shaking thing, event i fitted correctly the balanced shaft.

I've got poly bushes but I guess I'll have plenty of clunks with the welded diff.

Might just be additional noise now the poly bushes are in. Less give = more transmission of noise.

Solid bushes certainly made the diff louder!
