Yeah im swappin the diff for an open one today. The moustache bar where it actually bolts to the body, like the two bars that come out from the body itself, it appears the rear right hand side locating one has snapped a weld or something. I got it all back together and the wheels bind too much so id say something inside the locked diff is cactus. Just hoping it wasnt a wheel bearing noise at the same time coz ill put it all back together and have to take it all off again haha. regards chris
