took diff off today what a ball ache that was!!!
took it to a guy and he said it was giving backlash and so i need a new one anybody shed som light on backlash?
Its the amount of movement between mating teeth that is free play. There has to be some free play there but there is a maximum amount allowed.
You may be best to get your guy to crack it open and see if its something not helping like a collapsed bearing. It may be possible to get it re-shimmed to improve the backlash problem out but it depends if its wear or damage. He should be able to tell by cracking it open.
