I just want to run this by you knowledgeable people here to confirm that my diagnosis and prognosis are, hopefully, correct.
I’ve had the dreaded ‘clunk’ when coming on and off the accelerator so I managed to get the car over a pit the other day to have a proper look at the driveshaft and the rear diff.
There was a huge amount of play on the driveshaft which would indicate that the U-Joints are shot. There was also a small amount on the play in the left-hand half-shaft.
On that basis I’m planning to replace all six U-Joints. Does anyone have any advice on what else I should replace while I’m doing that job?
There is still an oil leak from the rear Diff itself but I can’t work out where so is it worth renewing all the oil seals?
Any and all advice is welcome but please don’t overload me.
