Its not ideal when the oil hitting the pan sounds like a heafty cow pat hitting the barn floor.

Its a whole lot thicker than that. Id sat a combo of seal failure and "extended" service interval ![]() |

Wobble is still there. Had fresh oil to try and clean out some of that gloop before the new diff goes in
Just need to find time to fit it ![]() |

How are the panhard bushes?
Mine developed a terrifying wobble (and general lack of steering ability) when the panhard bushes finally fell apart. The diff oil looks similar to what came out of mine when I first bought it! Still goes though... |
