The bolt through the mount goes upward, is there supposed to be a washer under the bolt head ?
Yes.

Nope, it just went away after the diff swap.Could it also be brake pads ?
This is what mine used to do, even though i did not had to try too hard. To me, it felt as if something was "giving" inside the diff.Have found I can make the noise by being parked hard on the foot brake and loading the drive train back and forth.
So having again gone through a nut and bolt check have returned to the top diff mount bolts where I spotted the fretting on the near side bolt.
I had those half shafts out to change the UJ s I cannot remember using loctite.
I had those shafts out loads of times, for UJ swaps and shaft or hub changes, and I never used loctite, and never had problems. If you had the shafts out maybe you didn't tighten the nut enough. There's a knack to knowing the point where any tighter and you start compressing the spacer.
Do you think if I left the road wheel on and loosened the hub nut to get some bearing play at the wheel, then tightened until the play went that would be a good guide as to how tight to go ?
