took front prop off and the front diff was stiff to turn I think it was reassembled too tight and the teeth aren’t meshing together correctly. Are all Colorado/parado front diffs the same?

It does it under barely any load. The noise before was only under very heavy load. Being under it it sound like it’s coming from transfer box but it’s basically a new unit

I’m wondering if it’s a bush that’s moving under extreme load. The seal turned up for the diff so I’ll get it back together.

Yeah I’ve seen that a few times.

It’s only does it under power and I’ve balanced them all recently

Sorry on holiday! In my trusty Vw transporter lol.

Doesnt do it with front prop disconnected. wheel bearings are good.

Only does it under load.

Yeah I’m wondering about a mount it does sound rotational but that maybe a red herring. I’m waiting on diff seals to reassemble.

Looking more at this I think that’s old damage as the bearing is in very good shape.
