Scott,the clicking was not there one day and the next day I heard it.Almost
gave me a heart attack!I thought at first it was final drive.Just
recently,after I fitted my decoupler my VC has become aggresive.Previously,I
did 90% of the year driving with tailshaft dropped.When the tailshaft was
installed I could do these tight turns without a CV issue.
Did you have any
problems getting the shaft out of the hubs?Did you do inners and outers?How
much did it cost?

Had a good look at the mounts today.Whilst on the hoist,I could easily move
the F/diff and there was a metalliac tap noise whist moving the diff by
hand(up and down).There was also movement side to side.

the locator,plastic??spacers,between mouled rubber bushes were not located.I
put them back together properly and tightened the bolts.The diff was much more
solid,no metallic tap,but still apears to be moving around.

moulded bushes appeared'squashed',and was soft to push the metal insert in the
middle.I will replace them when I get some.

diagnose a very slight vibration and are ruling out possibilities before I
replace my unis.I will not do the unis before I know the diff is not moving
around.
> I believe that I have now inherited a new Syncro fun job.My
front CVs are clicking whilst I pull into my driveway.I know I should avoid
tight turns.They also click in the sand as well on tight turns,I went out Boat
Harbour today to test this.

and group.The movement I am talking about is up and down.I need dry daylight
time to investigate futher.I can "bench press'' action my f/diff @ the
tailshaft end and get some up and down movement.Whilst the tailshaft is
dropped,the front diff moves like a cock in a...When looking at the front diff
mounts there is a gap between the washer and the rubber mount.The nuts are
tight.Has anyone experienced the mounts squashing over time.

I noted how much a 75 model 2L engine moves between gear changes. Almost
looked like half a foot in play.
