I've got a grating noise coming out of the rear diff, I have pulled both axles out and jacked the front up and run the car and the noise is still there. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi there,

I would undo the tail shaft and feel the pinion if you can feel and roughness I would be having the diff re raced, drain the diff oil and check for any metal fragments, (use a magnet) you may have damaged gear tooth as well. Also just check for a faulty uni as well.
