..I'm changing the gasket on the diff tomorrow and.. its also noisier than I remember.. very noisy actually.. the girl described it as a churning sound! So I am wondering what I should be looking for with regards to making sure it doesn't fall to bits at 70mph.
Also, how do you rate molyslip? Anyone used it in their diff?
Thanx!

Re: Noisy diff
It could be a wheel bearing gone causing the noise - it does travel along the axle.
If not it may be the bearings in the diff - not really a DIY job unless you've got a) the skills and b) the specialist tools needed to set up the diff backlash properly.

Re: Noisy diff
Dammit, I did the wheelbearings a few months back.. didn't make a difference. Thanks though, will start looking around for someone to do the job.
