Kinda > sounds like what sloppy universals on an American car sounds like. Try jacking up the car and twisting the rear wheels to see if there is torsional play in the drive line. If there is, get underneath and try to find out where it is. Make sure the CV joint bolts are tight (they are NOT Allen bolts!) If you have one or more CV joints with a lot of play, then you might want to replace them, or I might have a complete half shaft with 2 good used joints on it. Beware of the fact that the 2 MT half shafts are the same length, but the AT half shafts are 2 completely different lengths. If the play is inside the differential, you might want to drain and refill it with GL-5. Look at what comes out as a measure of the condition of what's in there. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
