If in doubt, pop over and I'll have a look for you.

 

Unfortunately I'm unavailable this weekend, due to commitments in South Oz, but any other time would be fine.

Yeah i dunno but today i didn't seem to hear it at all. Could it be that it sat in the one spot for about two weeks and the oil hadn't been circulated?

[Redwarf]

Doubt it, however you may just need to turn the stereo up a little more. :thumbsup:

[Corolla_Kid]

Haha yeah i think the stereo is going to be cranked often now :thumbsup: :D

thanks anyway but I'm on the sunshine coast so it is a bit of a drive to your place (your in brisbane i take it)

[Redwarf]

Yep, I'm in Aspley, so it could be worse.

in all honesty, if you're making any sort of power out of the engine, i'd be inclined to replace the unis anyway. having a front universal snap means your car does a pole vault, generally with disastrous results. it would suck to write your car off because of some 20 dollar bearings

 

the part number for jap unis is K5A517

[Redwarf]

That do be the number.

 

For info: Repco sell the good Hardy Spicer ones under that part number.

Ok guys an update. I had a look underneath and discovered that my tailshaft bolts weren't too tight at all. and this was giving me my aforementioned diff noise. when the gearbox went back in i forgot to tighten them up. Its all good now. Unis were replaced when the car was put together so theyve only done 5000 kays.

[Redwarf]

Job done. :harhar:

[Super Jamie]

holy crap, that ain't safe! good thing you looked in time

[Corolla_Kid]

Yeah i was pretty scared when i discovered it. As there was quite alot of noise coming from it. The stereo ran out of volume lol. I'm still stumped as to how they came undone.

[Redwarf]

A change to nylok nuts may contribute to the warm and fuzzy feeling, I have them on the Dwarf, so even if they aren't tight, thay either won't undo, or will undo slower than standard nuts.
