Doesn't sound real good? Jack up the body and have a closer inspection. I'm not sure about the bit concerning the moustache bar? 2 bolts onto the diff cover and 2 thru the bushings to locate the bar onto the body. The snapped flange bolts suggest the diff may have broken a tooth off the pinion gear.

Car still drove so i limped it home, and it only really made a noise when decelerating , which made me think it was a screwed uni joint or something come loose. Took the wheel off and noticed two bolts missing where the drive shaft meets the stub axle. So i replaced the bolts and put another wheel on, tried to put it in reverse and now it wont move on that side. I also noticed that where the moustache bar sits on the right hand side the bar that slides through the bar has snapped its weld some how, as i can do the bolt up onto it but then when i go to torque it up a bit it just clicks n then doesnt grab. So have a done an axel by the sounds or am i missing something ? _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
