i was out 4wheeling on the weekend, puttin er to work pretty hard as we were led to some mud bogs <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" /> I HATE MUD


anyways my diff started acting up yesterday, after going aroudn a corner, about 30-50 ft down the road the locker would clunk..going around corners it sounded realllly bad, loud clunking and banging. I pulled in the alley, got a friend to drive and:
1. the driveshaft spins a lot before engaging the tires..like a half turn.
2. when it did engage it was harsh and the diff would jump (similar to axlewrap, which i havent had any problems with up to now)

i pulled the diff, gears are all good locker looks to be in good shape with no broken teeth or springs (Aussie locker)
there is movement in the pinion that shouldnt be there.


Any ideas??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
