diff goes ting rattle ting

Post by hillbilliywheelchair »

Coming home from a fishing this morning the rear diff in my 75 started making this funny rattling noise that disappears when I lift my hand off
does anyone have a clue what the problem might be.

edit; I mean back my foot of sorry as I use hand controls to drive.
thanks jono

Might be as simlpe as a cracked uni joint, mine 80 was doing a similar noise, it was a metal tinging noise that dissapeared when i lifted my foot.

I just recently had the same noise in my troopy and thought it was just a buggered uni and it turned out to be a stuffed pinion bearing which wasnt a big job to fix
