Hi All

In an attempt to track down a bearing noise on the freelander 1, I had the front drive shafts out today. Feeling on the passenger side at the splines, the shaft from the front diff felt quite tight. However, on the drivers side I could move the shaft up and down about 1mm.

SO, out came the IRD. I have the diff out and am trying to tell if the bearing is knackered. The cage and the wheely bits wobble by a mm or 2. Should they?

Does anyone know of a workshop in the Parramatta/Blacktown areas where I can take the diff/shaft in that can replace the bearings on it? I guess I should take the whole box in and have the races replaced too?

Thanks
Mark
