Default Diff is wrecked.

Well my diff has just started making some clunky noises when underload. Its a loud bang but im not sure what it could be, Thought it could be the handbrake as its fairly loose. Anyone else no what it could be.

sounds like a cracked carrier to me. The bang would be the spider gears mashing and not meshing.

would u be able to hear that all over the car? i can only hear it come threw my left ear. not my right. If someone sticks there head out the left side of the car they say its the rear, stick your head out the right hand side they say its sounds like something on the other side.... hmm its weird and getting to me cause the lsd is barely 5000km old.

yea my mate said something about the handbrake isn't that tight, so the "something" is moving around and causing a bang. So adjust the handbrake tight and see what happens?

universals can clunk around abit when they are badly worn (usually on a higher mileage car), while its on a hoist is easiest (and safest)to check them and driveline sloppiness, should`nt cost to much .

my diff clunks.. it comes through as sloppyness if you lightly feather the throttle on and off you can feel it take up the slack and bang and the bang when it hits the other side of what ever its playing (each side of a cog tooth or somthing)

my tailshaft moves about 1/2" or more each direction if you spin it with the handbrake on and the car on the ground

not much help for your clunk.. but id see maybe if its even anything to do with the driveline.. may be a loose suspension bolt??
