Robert, I think you misunderstood what Harold &/or Dave was saying. I'm sure they were referring to the C.V. shaft bolts. It sounds like you took off the differential preload adjuster nut like the workshop manual mistakenly recommends. If you do this without marking a reference point and noting the number of turns you are potentially in deep trouble as you cannot reset the preload without a complete teardown. Note to others...DON'T DO THAT! It's much safer to remove the seal without touching the adjuster.

I needed to turn the adjustment assembly one more revolution to fully tighten it down and eliminate the rattleing. thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx> Wrote: > Are you sure you tightened the shaft bolts adequately?
