Hi Guys,

My Disco 2's rear diff is on the way out - Again. Same problem as last time - the input pinion bearings are giving up resulting in considerable movement in the rear prop shaft where it enters the diff. The first one went at 120k km, the second diff (apparently new not recon) has only lasted 36k km. The set-up is fairly standard - 37mm lift, BFG all terrains (265 70R16), ACE, nothing else I can think of that would affect it.

I've asked some pretty knowledgeable folks locally and searched here regarding what could be destroying these particular bearings, but no joy.

Any suggestions about the cause would be most welcome as I don't see the point in spending more $$ on another diff if there is an issue somewhere else that will send the new one down the same track.

Cheers,

BM.
