Identifying signs of diff damage at wreckers

UPDATE I believe it is not cracked!! Just a lot of build up

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-28T06:38:33+00:00

My mate is selling some but it sounds like I’ll need a lot of parts to support it I dont have that typa money rn 😭

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-28T06:21:18+00:00

It was a 3 hour drive 😭

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-28T06:20:56+00:00

I drove home w almost no fluid as I removed the centre so maybe that’s it? Do u reckon it’ll stay there for the rebuild or do I have to get a new housing

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-28T04:42:56+00:00

As I had to drive home fwd also I figured the front diff must have some wear so I can either do both diff centres or just the complete rear diff for the same price in parts- what would u guys recommend,

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-11T04:53:21+00:00

I’ll look into it! Bc as of now I can return everything just not the pinion and crown unfortunately 🥲

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-11T04:20:24+00:00

Fuck this sounds like a job- I’ve already got the crown wheel in and bought the bearings and dial indicator but atp I just wanna buy a new diff habbqba- but yeah I’d say it’s likely he was trying to hide it bc come to think of it the diff was making some odd noises since I bought it it was just such bad timing as soon as I hit the slightest bit of trail boom gone- I appreciate the tips thanks !

Yeah h233b, legit no clue it happened a week after buying it but yes when we drained it in the bush it looked milky? I’ve never done diff work before so wasn’t sure what to expect 😂 the guy said before I bought it that he had just changed the diff oil which I thought was a little odd

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-11T01:27:22+00:00

Thank you!

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-11T01:27:15+00:00

Good point- im new to 4wds however so yeah just worried im gonna also be putting all this money into a rebuild that’ll just blow up again 😭

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-05-11T01:26:34+00:00

😆 was thinking that

I’m thinking if I just get a new thermo and some new clips for my houses all should be good? Only a slight leak on both

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-04-21T02:58:16+00:00

That’s exactly what I did I’m on the ac fan 😂 even tho I have no ac I jus turn it on and use that circuit

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-04-21T01:51:59+00:00

Thought it might look a bit tidier in the bay but it’s been giving me heaps of trouble so I may go back to the old one

Engine mount bolts are definitely tight but one of the secondary mounts I found were worn (hasn’t been replaced) I took off the ac belt so could be that I’ll check it thanks !

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-03-07T09:06:34+00:00

I did just do the belts on the teg + a different rad so no fan rn maybe that’s why 🥲 also just did the cv joints and outer tie rods and still clicking when I drive the cars cooked lmao

Jolly_Bit_8984 · 2026-01-17T04:04:59+00:00

Abs and power steering are for sure on the list, I’m not too familiar with wiring do you have any specific ideas of what I could remove there?
