well as some of you know, i had some diff issues on the cruise the other day. started knocking and banging whenever it got hot and was hell bad in carparks and other slow speed situations.
started to get worse through the start of Tambo. people pulled over for another chat, we decided to just keep going hard with no traffic and if it shat itself someone would find us.
anyway didn't shit itself. pulled it apart today and Hen's advice was correct the axles were too long. had already ground 2 mm off the ends from rubbing together!!! ground another 3mm off each axle to make 5mm. then filed the ends to make it easier to install and not look as dodge.
threw it all back together this arvo, went for a quick drive and all is good so far. got a decent drive lined up tomorrow but confident all is well.
got some pics of the munted axles and a healthy one to show the difference plus my end result after filling and grinding.

un fortunately the car is spending a lot of time like this at the moment!! note there is no jack under the rear, that is the full extended height of the rear coilovers. edit: there is a jack under the car obviously!! but it's not holding the car up.
also my funky aviation spec wheel chock, that i may have snaked from work, maybe. blueAE86 if you read this ummm it's a Jetstar one!!!!
