If any of you remember my posts about hating my car due to the rattling I found it.......
I pulled the diff out of my car today. When I was carrying the case the parts inside were rattling. I removed the cover to find the carrier was moving side to side. I checked the backlash as it was .030!!!!! When it was set up it had .008-.010. There might have been some foul play involved. After the rear was set up I took it into a shop to have the axle bearings pressed out and installed. They told me they had to remove the carrier to do it. I asked if everything was torqued back to specs and all the schimms were put back where they were. They said yes, I should have rechecked the rear before I installed it. I didnt hear any rattling when I picked it up because they wrapped it in plastic. It whined and rattled when I 1st drove the car. Is it possible for the case to strech? Bearings not pressed all the way? I am pulling out my fuel tank to install a 255 pump so I wont have it all back together until Monday.
