removed driveshafts today, and there are only minimal play in the joints, about 0.5mm.  No need for replacing joints i think. Diff goes off on friday or saturday. I am going to change the diffbushings first.

I really don\'t want to split the diff as i don\'t know where to get spare parts and such..

I think stripping and rebuilding of most diffs is a very specialised workshop operation, with pre-loaded collapsable spacers and the like. Plus there is backlash to set up with a clock guage. OK to take the diff unit out complete and inspect it but I wouldn\'t want to try to strip one down and rebuild it.
