[Mgs] MGB V8 rear end noise

Tue Apr 28 19:24:45 MDT 2015

Even a new ring & pinion set will whine if the gear lash is not set 
correctly.  Who installed the parts & set them up?  Another thing to 
look for is wear in the isolator pads between the axle & the springs.  
You don't want metal-to-metal contact.
