P38 drive train problem may be

Stig1 · Mar 14, 2020

My p38 has a new problem when coming to a stop approx 3mph I get a slight side to side wobble feel in the car . And also sometimes when reversing I get a noise with more heavy judder . I'm not sure how to check but I'm suspecting the diffs

Diffs are pretty reliable if they have oil in they. I'd look at UJ's for starters.

Is it just play you need to look for

I think it's coming from the front

Play, rust stains on the spiders. You need one front and one rear wheel off the ground to check for play.

Grab the front prop, try and lift it up and down. look for lateral play..

Check UJ's as above..
