How can I tell the front diff is going bad???
Just got a 94 lsi with seems to have front differential problem(click and hup every 1/4 tire rotation) I expected to see a lot of metal pieces and shavings when draining the gear fluid out, but to my supprise, I didnt see any metal pieces and aveage amount of shavings on the drain plug.
my questions are 1)Can the click and hup(doesnt matter if I go straight or making turns) be the bad front axles? 2)Both axles look different. Maybe from different brand name. Is this a bad sign? 3)How can I tell the axles are bad after remove them from car? 4)Are broken axles common in SVXs? 5)Can the bad/broken front differential NOT produce any metal pieces from the gears? Thanks for the help!

Re: How can I tell the front diff is going bad???
I was told there is some kind of magnet at the bottom to catch scrap before it ruins your diff even faster.Is your speedo still working?
Mine stopped working and 2 days later my diff died on me. Sounds like a gear missing a tooth.Well, that's what it is! |

I couldnt even get the car up to speed to read the speedo, it was loud clunking and bulking. Most likely its the front diff. but how come no metal debris came out with fluid? And fluid appeared to be old(yellow to brownlish color)
