Re: Differential knackered
Not sure. Perhaps the rotating effect at different angles of the cv? Either way, they dont look up to the job. Are the Brickwerks too? Deffo serrated washers required. They came with the kit from Brickwerks. I've ordered a new set of bolts and Brickwerks have confirmed that these bolts are 10.9 gr...

Re: Differential knackered
Managed to get to bolts out of cv joint, wheel side, looks like they haven't snapped off thankfully but can any suggest why the threads are worn in the way they are. The bolt on the left is one of the original ones.

Re: Differential knackered
no pictures at the moment, I'll get the van jacked up tomorrow for a deeper investigation.
Not sure about circlip in place as it was the mechanic who re assembled the unit.

Re: Differential knackered
looking at cv joint, wheel end, I can see the cv bolts still in position even though drive shaft is floating free. Is there a likelihood that the cv bolts have sheared off from the rear wheel shaft ?

Re: Differential knackered
washers didn't come with new cv kits, mechanic who fitted said not needed. Perhaps therein lies the answer. I kept old bolts and washers, gave them a good clean up, just in case !
Thanks folks for all your help. Mechanic turning up soon, lets see what he finds. May need that driveshaft Maxstu !1
