indoken Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 hello i have just finished replacing the swivel balls on my 200 tdi (91). put everything back together but steering seemed to jam after about one turn of the wheel. i reversed back slowly and the problem seemed to clear . i then filled the balls with one shot greaseand reversed out of my drive ......BANG...... now i can't drive in high ratio (slight grinding noise) but if i put it into low ratio i have full use of gears. can anyone shed some light on this problem. many thanks ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Low ratio or low ratio difflock? If it only drives in difflock then I would suspect a CV joint from the description but then it should drive in high range difflock too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
