Hullo.  Good comments on the rear-end noises from the Spitfire, but I think
Zahid was talking more about the diff itself.  Yes, the axle bearings in the
trunnion can wear and score the axle.  The best preventative is frequent
lubing, though I've never heard of anyone putting gear oil in them.  (Gear
oil was the recommended lub for the front trunnions.)
