What have i buggered, diff or something elce
Its on a 4x4 saph.
I lanched it off the traffic lights from about 5500rmp. it went off as normal and then there was a big bang and a momentary drive loss. then it drove ok from the next 500 yards. after that there was a clicking/ crunching nosie comeing from the back of the car and every time it made the nosie the car jurked.
it amost feels like the propshaft bracked has come off the car and is slapping around but the prop is still in and furm.
another thing is it makes the nosie and jurks loads when going round tight corners.
im sure its the rear diff but just wanted to see what others though

have fun changing it, not as easy as you think lol
gurantee the top bolt is seized proper in there, and them torx bolts that hold the shaft on are a pain especially if you slip and knacker them up lol
but get it on some ramps and just make sure its the rear diff, its usually gearbox, front diff front shaft that go before a rear diff on a 4wd
but as you its at the back of the car then more than likely rear diff
