I think Russ took down the videos; or put them somewhere else, and I couldn't find them elsewhere when I was doing my diff.

any surprise when he gets called ‘permanently banned’ on a forum he gave so much to ?

The original thread is here:

https://www.socforum.com/forum/forum/stag-owners-club/soc-forum/35172-diff-backlash-a-possible-cause-and-its-solution-in-pictures

The links to the videos no longer work, but there is still some useful info in the thread.

This is a video I made when checking the diff - not sure if it helps, but my clonky diff disappeared after re-shimming. Glad if I can help anyone with a Stag.

video doesnt open

ok. I'll have a look into it. it's my first video ever uploaded to youtube

[dasadrew]

Try it now. It should have worked for anyone using the link, but it's now open to all (hoping I won't now be spammed to death).

That works ok, shows exactly where the problem lies.

I must have re shimmed half a dozen diffs now, some of them twice, they seem to need it every 50,000 miles or so.

question for those in the know
is it possible to remove the cross member and diff rear case with the diff in the car? or is it an everything out job?
thanks Phil

It's an everything out job - but the hardest part is removing the exhaust from behind the diff. Once that's out, there's not a lot of trouble dropping the rear diff mount.

The bolts at the top of the diff case would be hard to get at with the cross member in place
