That was my first though as I had the same thing with my Savage. Turned out to be a knackered bearing on the diff but these all feel perfectly smooth.

I think I've narrowed it down, but I've still no idea why it's happening. It's coming from the rear diff. Like I said, I opened it up and checked bearings, gears and shims and everything looks to be spot on, no wear whatsoever. When it happened on the Savage it turned out to be a blown bearing allowing the diff to shift and lose its mesh, but I'm 99% sure that's not the case this time. Guess I'll be opening it up again for another inspection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 feel ya brother i had that on my savvy too for months turnt out in the end the diff needed shimming on one side of the case lol 🤣 yeah open her back up ever check all the gears for worn teeth and any play from side to side etc 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I've never had to shim Hyper diffs. If diff internals look good and you can easily rotate the cups by hand with no crunching and in/out play then sounds like mesh between diff crown gear and diff pinion gear. Have a careful look at their teeth with both out car on table, The drive cup needs a little play when secured to the diff pinion gear. Make sure the centre shafts have front/back play in the cups.

I didn't notice any play in them while I had it apart but will definitely be checking them first when I take it apart again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
