well i think thats wot it s called? it s the bearing in the front of the diff that the prop shaft goes in to.
just wondering if any one has changed 1 of these before and wot kind of job it is to do, is there a special tool for doing them,or can it quite easily be replaced.
or maybe ill buy an lsd if any one has one for sale suitable for a 320? winkeye

This is basically a specialist job,usually a reconditioner will replace all the bearings at the same time,its expensive too.
If it ain't broke..
Fix it till it is :)
