    I've just re-built my first diff...

    Should it sound like a metallic cat purring when I spin one end of it?:lmao3: It appears to be a lot tighter, but it makes a sort of a noise (See description above).... Also, just noticed I have 3 teeth missing from the small cog thing that drives the rear diff (Excuse the lack of...
