At drag day, after my first run, on the return path, I thought I could hear knocking sounds coming from the rear of my car but for the rest of the day, it was fine so I put it down to either me imaginig it or maybe rocks bouncing around. Then today (2 weeks later) was just driving to the shops, lost a bit of traction in the wet turning onto a main rd (notorious gradient for causing slight wheel spin in wet weather) and I heard those knocking sounds again from the rear and my steering was jerking left and right softly. I made it to the shops but every turn I made, that knocking sound would come and my wheel would start jerking again. I parked the car, went to the shops and came back, and its back to normal again. I drove it slowly home, then gave it a little stick to see if anything happenned and everything seemed normal.

Does anyone know what it could be and if I should excpect an almighty bang soon and loss of control of the car. This has got me p****d.

3.9 LSD = fixed + approx .2 off ET + money for diff shop = happy cam + diff shop

Does sound bad, sorta sounds like its locking up, home made spool?
Those diffs are s**t, ford were crazy going back to a 2 pinion centre. It's EA-EBI spec.

On the plus side, it'll probably spin both now if you try and do a standstill.

Lol, just when I thought I was well away from my EA, this happens. Well it is a mkI and I suppose i'm lucky for the dif to have lasted this long after the hiding its had.

Your formula seems logical and I may have to think about this. Do you know any good places to get this done? All I know off he top of my head is $2,000 at bluepower but this fairly expensive.

Brendans was 1200? from memory, second hand gears, reco centre.
Bloke in Melton.
He even re-adjusted brendans handbrake for him LOL I'll get the number off him if ya want cam.

thanks jarred, 1200 is sweet. If you get the number, would be highly appreciative. If I do get this dif done, will it be more reliable than the one I have now or do i still need to baby it for the most part.

Should be a bit better, a diff is a diff but, I wouldn't run amok with the LSD too much, cause it will die.
You were probably just unlucky with this one.

I'll get the number for you tomorrow.

thanks mate.
