W123 differential failing? Odd vibrations under load
Hello everyone, laying in bed awake pondering things I need to address on my cars (do you all do this top or is it just me), and this one is bugging me.
I have consistently had a vibration in my grey 300d, it is most noticeable around 35-45mph, under load. Let off the throttle and its gone, push the clutch in and its gone. Did the same before i swapped the trans, it seems more noticible with the 4 speed, but I'm thinking thats because of a more solid power transfer to the diff. If I jack up one wheel and put it in gear and let it idle, there is a rhythmic clunking noise from the wheel that isnt lifted, and the axle shaft of the wheel on the ground seems to wobble where it enters the differential. Am I looking at a new diff soon or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thingsn Ive replaced hunting for the vibration: Trans mount Front flex disc Center carrier and bearing Rear flex disc Rear axle shafts Diff output seals (they were leaking, and may still be after replacement) Should I start looking for a diff? I'll try to get some video of what im trying to explain, I pro ably shouldn't try to post logical things late at night
