Let us know how it goes! Curious to see what the problem was.

Any updates??

Still waiting on the Knuckle/ trying to source one that doesn't have the axle frozen in the hub. Also picking up a new rear diff. from a GSX with no issues. Going to keep mine as a spare to learn on and keep as a backup. Should be complete by this weekend and driving Saturday night or Sunday.

Got the knuckle and rear diff. about to put them in!

Just got it done. About to put fluids in and take for another test drive.

Well just got back from a test drive..the major vibration is gone but there is still one. Happens only under throttle, goes away if clutch is pushed in. Feels like it could be coming from the front drivers side. or somewhere in the front. I swapped out the carrier bearing/axle for one from a 2ga and remember the axle having a weird fitment. Will post a pic tomorrow of it but any ideas?
Thanks

How did the axle have a weird fitment?

[mark4g63t]

Looked like it went all the way in with the auto axle but the bracket didn't line up with the block so I changed it for a 2ga 5 speed one which fit to the block but didn't look like the axle was fully seated in the tranny. No leaks or anything. Just a little farther out than the auto one.
Vibration now starts to happen under light to mild throttle and right around 30 mph. Coming from what seems like the front.
Will post a pic of said axle and a video of this vibration/ noise

Going to be checking the drivers cv axle. Really seems to be coming from the front left

Think I found the problem, unless this sounds normal.
I can crab the axle (between carrier and hub) and move it around, up, down and a little bit towards carrier then towards hub. I thought it was excessive play.
