morning campers lets hope this post goes better than my last one eh.
i have a landrover discovery 300 2.5 tdi on m reg so around 1994 1995. it has covered 188000 miles and needs some tinkering.
iv got most jobs done so far but still having problems from the rear of the car. it started making sounds like a shagged wheel bearing crunching and stuff when rolling just a general racket from the back, so i had a butchers and noticed the axel pinion seal i think its called was ****ing oil out so set about changing it which wasnt as bad as i thought after the stories i was told especially with my method of removing the pinion.
so when i got the pinion out i found that the 23 -24mm nut that secures the tapered bearing was finger tight leaving the bearing to rattle around abit, i also found the oil to have what i can only guess to have mixed with water turning it into a thick none lubricating grease due wading without a wading kit.
iv now got a wading kit to fit aswell as pinion bearing wheel bearings ect with new seals and gaskets for full axel but the bit that bothers me is the back-lash i think you call it in the diff .The play in prop shaft before wheels start turning which cause a clunk on and off throttle.
iv done some reading and tried to get my head around how diffs work ect and so far iv seen the best way is to play about with shims to space it ect but the vids i viewed were all yanks and not on a discovery so pretty much void.
so my reason for my long boring post was to see if theres a guid available online or walk through vids on curing the back lash on a rear diff for the above vehicle..
now my last thread wasnt any good so i hope this one has all the info you need to help me out i dont care if my spelling isnt good or theres not enough full stops. just friendly help would be good cheers.
