Re: front dif failure

ok some news of my sounds.
i have prepare my svx to make somes laps on track ( nurburgring addict! lol )
so i have check all before use it.
i have found my front axles have some play near the front dif.
so i have talk about it of one of my friend ( he's mecanic on renault cars )
and tell me they have the same problem on renault r25 auto trans.
and he tell me they tights the front dif because the bearing wear normaly.
so it's easy to do ,because it's just tight the "nut" at the output of the front dif.
it consist to remove the locking plate a the upper of the nut and tight the nut until the output shaft dont move.
dont tight it to much because that can wear the bearing faster!!!
so keep some play on it!
after that instal the locking plate and it's ok!

anyway, about my track trip,
after 2 laps, i hear a strange sound on the propeler shaft.
so i have lift the car, remove the center heatshield and move the shaft.
the sound come from the bearing of the propeler shaft.
i think he's dead.
so i have add 4 washers to align better the shaft. and i have add silicone rubber on the rubber of the bearing to limit the vibrations.
the sound are very more acceptable.
so i have return to the track and make 13 more laps whitout problem!!!

anyway, it's just an speed repair, now i need one more normal
so i need to change the propeler shaft bearing ( carrier bearing? )

anyone know were to find one in good shape or new for international shipping? ( i'm french you know! )
thanks!

here, i give you somes picture of my road trip!
