Rear end clicks during turns pulled the 10 bolt cover and replaced oil still clicking

  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    Is this a locking or limited slip center section? Lockers, especially, will make noise on turns - it's natural for them to do so. my '97 C2500 has a locker and it make noises that you'd think you would only hear in wartime. (joke, but not far from the truth.) Please clarify which axle model you have.

Probably something like the star adjuster came loose inside the brake linings...have you checked the back brakes? and if this is a four wheel drive it might be cv joints.

The limited-slip part of the differential may be in need of service. If no limited slip, you may have missing teeth on one or more of the spider gears.

Rear end knocks only when turning

The easiest place to start is to take the cover off of the rear end, and inspect for any debris, and or broken parts. It is located in the center if the rear end and required a 13mm socket to remove the 10 bolts, a drain pan to catch the fluid, and a flat bladed screwdriver to pry the cover off once you have the bolts out.

2004 Explorer: Rear differential cover is leaking, how do I fix i...

put flat pan under the housing remove the bolts holding the cover usually 10 or 12 (1/2 or #12 metric) bolts? allow the rear end grease to drain... then scape off the old gasket clean with brake cleaner spray install either new gasket or form one with oil resistant silicone put the cover back on , dont refill the fliud for at least 12 hours if using silicone. Also check the front driveshaft rear end yoke seal....they sometimes leak making the illusion of a rear end pan cover leak...if that is leaking you remove the shaft carefully...remove the large yoke retaining nut, replace the press in seal...be sure retaining yoke nut is properly torqued when reinstalling .

Need to remove rear axle

OK I did this recently, lift and support rear, remove wheels, place drain tray under centre of axel, remove rear cover (dont worry you dont have to touch the bearings or settings) take the truck out of park and select neutral. turn the large gear (crownwheel) until you see one 10 mm bolt head, unscrew this bolt, turn the crownwheel a bit more and drop out the 1/2" pin this bolt held in. you can now tap the hubs in a little and slide out a horseshoe clip that retains the shaft, pull out the shaft and change the dust shield (they can be had after market cheaply) slide the shaft back in, do other side, re fit the horseshoe clips and pull the shafts out until the clip is inside its recess,slide in the 1/2" pin, you might need to move the little gears that run on this pin with a bit of stiff wire or little finger untill the pin slides home, align the bolt hile with a small screwdriver and fit 10 mm bolt, new gasket, fit cover and new oil, fit brakes etc and wheels. get back if you get stuck.
