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?

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

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)

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

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.

Job done. :harhar:

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

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.

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.
