Hi guys,
I have a 404 which runs well but the diff is a bit wobbly. By that I mean when travelling at certain speeds the car has jerky motion. I was told by the previous owner that it was due to a worn pinion.
At some stage I’d like to get that diff sorted. I’ve heard the pinion can be flipped to the less worn side but I’ve never worked on these cars before so have no idea what I’m doing.
Im thinking I should probably get a new pinion anyway, what are your thoughts on that?
Also, not sure if I feel confident enough to the job myself, I’ve changed plenty of banjos in old Holdens but this looks slightly more complicated.
Any advice on where to buy the pinion or who would be best to do the job would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan
