andy1969 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi all, I think something grim is developing in my 110's rear axle and would welcome your input. I'm getting a low pitch whine from underneath, the pitch increases with speed and develops a sort of 'whoop, whoop' characteristic. Went a prod around under the Landy after work today, the u/j's all seem fine. Jacked up the back and spun the wheels, on doing this I got a sort of dull tapping sound. This seems to be coming from the drivers side of the axle/diff. I pulled that sides halfshaft - no sign of wear, before fixing back in place I turned the shaft by hand with the drive flange to turn the diff and felt a pulsing roughness. I'm out of my depth on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 You have a Salisbury axle - take the diff pan off and see what's going on. You can replace the bearings or whatever, but it's a bit of a swine to do. Have you drained the oil/got any bits of metal come out? Les.

andy1969 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thanks for the advice gents. Haven't had chance to do anything else with it this weekend, planning to drain & take the pan off next weekend. From what I understand having read other posts, the Salisbury diff is best left well alone unless you really know what you're doing. Is changing a bearing in there feasible for a DIYer with basic tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
