80 series diff (with bits)
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 7:57 pm
So i was doing a bit of maintenance to the old girl the other day 80 series. When i checked the rear diff oil. and it looked a bit discoloured (grease from the wheel bearings due to leaky seals) so i drained it and wiped the magnetic bung which had a few metal filings and shock horror one small chip of metal about 3mm long and half a mil wide and deep. So i refilled it and regreased the wheel bearings and went for a drive . theres no noise or anything . the diff bearings were replaced in september. so what i want to know is should i be worried and pull it out to get it checked or just let it develop ??
any opinions would be great
