This makes sense and I defer to mjb's and Joe's greater experience, but it is also true that the deflection isn't much in any case. Perhaps I shall go look at mine. Can't say I've ever had an issue w

Sure it wasn't just a U-joint? I've never seen an early Spitfire diff so perhaps that's what it is. But most likely it is from a GT6. The six studs is the clue. The drain plug would have been added b

It's been a long time since I replaced a diff but... When I did mine I lifted it up slowly with a small hydraulic jack. As I recall (and with luck I'm not imagining the memory), the problem with putt

I've always been told that those things can't be fixed. However you could take it by a driveshaft shop such as works on trucks, have them weld on a new joint or do whatever they do. -- Jim Muller jim

It sounds like one of the retaining clips came out or broke or rusted away. You need at least to replace the clip but you should replace the joint anyway. Depends on how hard it is to remove the bear

It's been a while since I looked at the Haynes manual but as I recall they are connectors. Don't know what the variations mean. The trouble is, you can't easily map the physical location in the car t

My 1500 has a collapsible column, a sliding wedge arrangement just above the firewall. It can be used as a wheel position adjustment too but you give up collapse distance. -- Jim Muller jimmuller@rcn
