chuggaman:
are the sockets that the halfshafts connect into worn/play etc???

Wanderer:
What about some more pictures of the diff and halfshaft ends?

Try setting things up on the bench as they would be on the vehicle and operate it as you would on the car.
Then try get someone to hold the halfshaft with some grips and see if turning the drive flange can over ride it.

i say that as the halfshaft looks worn

Wanderer:
Sorry Gords. I missed the bit about photos in the gallery.
I wondered where Chugga saw the worn halfshafts.

Is there any debris in bottom of the axle casing.

It's hard to tell, they seem to slot in quite nicely and don't slop when turning. I think there is up/down movement, but I'm not sure what's moving. Surely, they would have to be completely shagged to stop the car moving completely?!

I've taken a few more pictures - one shows the splines for the half shafts reasonably well.

I did try putting the half shafts in place and tried turning various ends in various directions. It seemed fine, but I don't have a bench or a spare pair of hands do it was a bit difficult to test it properly :(
