So I broke my front axles a month ago took it in and got them warrantied. Haven't really rode it til last weekend but if u go real slow it sounds like something clanking around. I've checked all joints and nothing is loose awd kicks in and out like it should. Any suggestions on what else to look at? If I take it back to the shop it's another. 50$ to get it checked out.

We'll I'm tryin to confirm what it is first. To me it sounds like it's coming from the front diff

What are you talking or referring to?

Could be this little guy rolling around in the front diff.

what did that little gem end up costing to repair?

[RVS Performance]

$12. If it didn't wreck anything else in there. It sits on the backlash adjuster screw and rides against the ring gear to keep proper backlash on it. This one made it 35 hours and 900 miles and never had the fluid changed since the manual says every 100 hours so the owner thought he had lots of time to go.

 

[mscldawg]

Oh ok. Well that wasn't bad, just labor intensive getting to everything.

is it the wa wa noise?

No it's not the wa wa noise. This is something totally different. I did notice the seal on the front diff is leaking a little fluid but it seems to be the adc unit.

It a thrust button. Part 19 in the pic. It sets the backlash in the front diff.

Is there anyway to tell without taking it apart?

Would the axles breaking maybe cause it to fail?

Before you go taking things apart. Does your awd work?

Yes awd works fine kicks in and out like it should. But some times it feels like the adc is working when it's not on and it's not showing the icon on the display either

That's what this one did. Felt like the ADC was kicking in in 2wd over 18mph. You can probably get the side cover off without pulling the whole diff, but will have to pull the front left axle to do it. But if it came loose and slid around in there at all it likely chewed up some of the plastic stuff in there. The diff this one came from took $160 in parts including all the seals at $55 as a precaution since it was all apart and on the bench.

I will call the dealer and talk to them about it tomorrow. But if it's gonna cost me $$ again I'll just wait til the whole thing goes before I take it in.
