Sierra Diff problem
Anyone know how much lateral movement is acceptable for sierra final drive flanges? One of mine has no movement at all, but the other can move about
6mm in and out, at first i thought the circlip had come off inside the diff, but after removing the cover, it seems that the bevel gear is moving as
well, should i remove the whole lot from the car and investigate further or is this normal?
TIA
Al.

i asume you have a disc braked rear end,mr haynes says to measure the position of drive shaft oil seals in their holes so maybe you put one too far
down.compare it to the other side

Cheers Conrod, after posting i spoke to Raceline, and apparently its common on LSD's and nothing to worry about, it does mean the diffs done a
few miles and is essentially worn, but the bloke reckons it's better that way in a seven and if the diff was brand new it would upset the
handling out of corners, due to the light weight of the car.
Quite a relief really, didnt fancy pulling it all out again.
