ScottR400D Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks Chris. That’s interesting. The noise in the video is just what I get when rolling to a halt but tge chattering at speed was different. As I said it’s always chattered but this was louder without doubt. I’ve jacked it up and the wheels rotate quietly. I notice that turning one causes the other to go the other way, in neutral. I thought it should go the same way but searching seems to suggest:1)It should go same way.2)it should go other way. 3) It shouldn’t move.4) It doesn’t matter. Dies anyone know for a fact?

ScottR400D Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 SM25T Do you know where this spring is located?I've worked on CV and tripode shafts before now and don’t remember springs, other than the retaining clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 some have a small coil inside pressing between the cup and the end of the sliding shaft - holds the shaft central and stops lateral movement noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR400D Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks 7WOTW! I'd found the same site and this drawing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 So now I just need to determine which issue it all is, this or the diff. (see other thread) Whatever, I'd need to dismantle the driveshaft or shafts, at least. I would say its left of the car so I'll start there!

SM25T Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yes .. you pop it into the cup before sliding the shaft with tripode bearing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 The black grease inside the drive shaft boots is revolting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aerobod - near CYYC Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 If it is the CV joint spring, you can check by pulling each shaft about 3mm out of the diff end (without pulling all the way out of the oil seal) and gently releasing, the spring tension should be the same on each side.

ChrisC Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Mine I was sourced from a drive shaft that had been replaced for other reasons. One of the advantages of using a specialist that runs a race team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR400D Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Could be. I'll try and test them tomo and have a real good look to see if I can pinpoint the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7 wonders of the world Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 to just test the joints as above just pop the caliper bolts out, remove the 4 ear bolts and pull the shaft, hub and disc out you can acess both joints with minimal work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 You can remove the ear with the drive shaft and disc in place.If this is to removed the diff, I would Loosen the Prop Shaft bolts. Remove the Rear Calipers Remove the Ears (Complete with Disc and Drive Shafts) Remove A Frame and DeDion tube Finally Remove the DIffI know this can be done without removing the tube, there was a post on here.

ScottR400D Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Thanks, I understand that. Does the Caliper need to be fully disconnected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 bolts out and leave the hydraulic hose on just zip tie out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
