81 300 D possible u-joint?
Hello all,
Well, I'm at it again. I just bought another 300 D. I had to drive it a few hours to get it home, and pulling into town ......... huge clunking on the rear passenger side. Huge. Oil leaking from the area. Heavy sigh.......what do you think I'm up against on this old gal? Thanks, Shelly P.S. If everything works out on the new '81, I'll be selling my '82 300 DT if anyone knows anyone who is interested. |

Half shaft or diff. Find the oil leak -- may be the boot going, which usually means the joint is flogging in it.
Try tightening the retainer bolt in the hub, too -- it is possible for the axle to move and thump, leaving you with only a boot repair. Peter
