pulled the rear axle apart and did a visual inspection of all the gears, no missing teeth spins nice and easy axle shafts are in good shape but the bearings are a little rough gonna replace those, i dont think they are the source of the clacking noise. pulling the transmission today hopefully its so...

you could try jacking it up so at least one back wheel is off the ground, on a jack stand, trans in neutral and not in 4wd, and have someone put resistance on the drive shaft by hand, and someone turn the tire putting hand pressure on the drive train. sometimes if the diff has a bad spot you can fe...

The way to check this is to drain the differncial -plug on the bottom- drain when hot and through a paint strainer, or a piece of cheese cloth. your looking for pieces of metal, fine pieces,use a magnet.Small amounts of metal are to be expected, normal wear and tear, just not large chunks.

is there an easy way to check this or do i need to take it apart and just look at it?

the drive shaft center bearing is on a rubber mount, it should wiggle around. are you sure it is coming from the drive train? not clutch or engine? a bad piston can make clacking noise, gets loud at the harmoic speed, and it quiet above and below that RPM. A rear ring and pinion mising a tooth can ...

i removed the rear propeller shaft and drove it. it definitely removed some whirling noise coming from the back but the clacking is still there. could be the passanger side wheel bearing and i plan to try that before i pull the transmission. any other possibilities?

i climbed under the rig and gave the rear drive shaft a jiggle and there is at least an inch of play in every direction on the carrier bearing quite obvious it is broken i will pull of the rear shaft and drive it to verify it is the source of the noise but i think you guys may have solved it. the an...

my 84 sr5 started making a horrible clacking noise recently you can hear it any time the car is moving. it is the loudest and most pronounced at 25-40 mph with it in or out of gear. the noise mellows out at around 50-60mph but it is still there. the transmission feels great still no trouble shifting...

petros i am interested in the ported, polished and shaved head. is it ready to just be put back together and slapped back in or would it still need some machine work? i got a virgin head form synth but i was planning on having all that machine work done anyways so if your head is ready to go i will ...

looking for a 3ac cylinder head to rebuild for my 84sr5 its my daily driver so i can't rebuild the one i have, i need a spare. greater seattle area would be preferred so i could pick it up. looking to start the project asap.

Its just the bartos lift. The cutting boards up front and pathfinder springs in the rear. I believe he said he used six stacked to achieve 2? inches over stock. Ive actually been thinking about removing a few since I replaced the bumper with this one, it sits up a little higher than the rear. Heres...

would it be possible to swap out the rear axle for something that would let you run an all wheel drive set up? i really like the way this car handles in 4wd it would be cool to get that all the time. not sure if it's even possible but would appreciate the feed back.

found some good info in the repair guides should help along the project. any recommendations on a rebuild kit? are they all the same or will spending a bit extra make any noticeable difference?

thanks for the info i would definitely like more roll then plow on this rig looks like ill just store the bar just in case my next tercel needs it.
