Hello all, many thanks in advance for taking the time to read this post.
1) I replaced the pinion seal, tightened the pinion nut good and tight with a 1/2" socket wrench and topped off the differential oil.
2) While under the I noticed the drive shaft support was old and there was a bit of free play. The transmission mount appeared to have been recently replaced by PO.
The car now makes a horrible bearing noise not while driving down the road, but only while coasting in neutral. It almost sounds like something is dragging on the ground as well (I originally thought maybe I left a tool up while working). I put the car on jack stands and ran the motor in gear and could not replicate the noise. The differential makes some noise, as heard through a stethoscope, however I am not sure what I differential is supposed to sound like so it may or may not be normal.
So, it makes a noise while coasting in neutral - which is strange to me. Any ideas?
thank you,
Paul
