boylo Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi all a quick question upon checking the play in my front drive shaft i noticed play. I can move mine in a side ways movent not much ie in and out of the housing. I have No a very very little play in up and down direction. Is this normal? Im pritty sure it has to have a little play due to heat and so on. Any advice or pointer will be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 They do tend to move a bit I wouldn't be to worried as long as there is no vibrations at speed from the car as that could mean a worn inner cv joint and no knocking or clicking on slow turns as that would mean the outer cv joint could be worn :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boylo Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks for the reply i thought as much. So my drive shafts are good what about the process of cheacking the front diff for damage? Or is it the same ? Knocking and wining turning corners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Yeah you will get noise clunking is the most common one. Not sure if anyone else has a way of testing there diffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
