...Doesn't explain the movement in the crosspin it also had though Pat...
The issues with that particular front diff are; Backlash was more than usual, drained the oil and looking in through the filler plug you can see the crosspin and hemisphere quite clearly. I saw that the crosspin is starting to move around in the carrier, (the rolled retaining pin is also protruding out a bit too much to be fully 'in'), the oil was silvery and IMO this is where most of it has come from. Yes there is a bit of initial wear in new components but coupled with the extra backlash evident I would be checking it again at the next service.
The diff is quiet, and so is the rear one so no need to panic at this point. I didn't mean to cause a stir, just that it is starting to do what a lot of them do, so we need to monitor it. It is so minor at the moment that LRA wouldn't replace it, we are waiting until it becomes more obvious.
