Help! Is it the diff?

[Bobbys14]

On my mates car there is a clunk coming from the rear of the car, the car even jumps at times from side to side slightly only dose it when you give a lil gas.

The diff locks fine and dosen't kick or do anything when in a drift.

what car is it? cwp could be after breaking or chipping a few teeth? jack up the car so the 2 back wheels are off the ground spin the wheel with your hand see can you hear a metal against metal sound in where the diff is, suppose no harm to drain the oil and look for metal filings before you go stripping it,


OR

it could just be the normal workings of a very harsh diff like cusco or kaaz for instance

yea, what car is it???? if its a solid axled yoke like a cam, could be an incorectly ajusted panhard rod making it jump, and a fucked bush makin it knock!

My cusco diff done that untill i put different oil in it. Then it was fine.

bob my own silvia went like this realy bad clunking and banging in it thought the diff was fcuked and it got louder as the days went on thought the oil may have gone thin so changed the oil and its back to normal now

theck that all 5 nuts are on the wheels seriously one missing in my car and the same thing happens also 2 different width tires will do it too serious

Its a silvia s14a can't see it been the workings of the diff and it been driven in a straight line.. Thanks for all the advice everyone..

[mick]

if theres a tooth gone on the crownwheel, itll affect it in a straight line aswel

[eileen]

might sound like a silly question but are you running the same tyres on each side?

The diff is transmitting the power to the wheels, straight line or not so it could be the diff.

Check the rear subframe bushes as well.
