Good Morning/Afternoon Boys!
I have finally got round to dropping the diff off the back of the car, I had to delay the job due to work commitments and "She who must be obeyed" commitments after the comment was passed that I cared about the car more than I cared about her. (If my hand had been forced she may have been upset by my response)
Anyway, I removed the exhaust and disconnected the drive shafts before finishing up last night. Tonight the diff comes off to see if the mountings are broken which is causing the clunking I seem to get when off throttle.
If I do find the mountings are broken,
a. Is there any kits available that would allow me to repair it or is it a case of doing my own repair?
b. Does anyone have experience of this repair and can I weld in that area without first removing the gas tank?
c. I have been looking at the goodparts CV joint driveshafts and R200 diff conversion, does anyone have experience of these.
Any advice or comments are welcome.
I am finding many bolts are loose or over torqued stripping threads and making my life extremely difficult, which leads me to the conclusion that the person who worked on the car before I bought it didnt know what they were doing and that Im going to have to double check everything.
