That sound fine, I would expect one end to be retained an the other end sliding.

The play is up and down diff end of the shafts. And there is some movement in the rubber bushing at the bottom of the hub assy too. Presumably this is a design feayure |

Have you driven it yet to see if one side is hotter than the other? Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

Hi yes both sides are the same temp, however I've now found, with the shaft turned to acertain angle of rotation on the right side quite a bit of movement hub end. So that's both shafts, LH at diff end, RH at diff and hub.

I thought mine was a wheel bearing or the diff .even had garage look at it ,they could not find anything.sounded if something was catching /rumble. noise was intermittent.bought 2 new legs from eurocarparts £70 each.thou only rear passenger side had failed.took longer to get trim off inside car than to change both legs.only found it was coming from rear(it sounded like it was from front)when my mate layed down on back seat to listen while I drove round.then a pal who worked for lr years ago said it sounds like suspension ,on investigation he noticed oil had been leaking down the leg.been 2 months now and all okay no probs. |
