Hi everyone
Recent bad running and epic electrical cut out resulting in full engine braking being applied suddenly and fearsomely and somewhat repeatedly has resulted in a bit of an increase in diff backlash and associated driveline shunting, which is quite unpleasant.
Is this rebuildable/fixable? What's causing it? I think it's mostly in the diff (UJ ans propshaft have no play)
I'm quite close to dropping the whole rear off as I've got a clonky de dion tube, leaking rear calipers, and some suspect rear lower bushes, plus I want to assess the elbows properly, so if it's a benchtop job that'd be another tick in that box for bringing the rear off.
Any advice? Tips tricks pitfalls all gratefully received
