Earl Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Also Earl, rock auto's prices are the same/little more for alot of stuff... sadly. I've never encountered that issue. Everything I have ever needed was about half or less than what it costs anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Rock Auto must dislike e28's:P lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Maybe, because E28's are rarer then E30's.. Possibility yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Most of my e21 parts are less than other places offer them. I'm sure they are just as rare, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Who the hell knows. Either way, their prices aren't a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yeah, I'm also being told that the reason my half shaft is sticking out a bit from the diff, is a snap ring, that's causing my entire problem.. I'm fucking LOST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Diff is on the leftside, pass side half shaft is on the right. gap is between the half shaft and the diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 And the picture makes my car look rusty as fuck. It actually isn't corrosion resistant under coating ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 The missing snap ring theory makes sense but I dont believe it would be displaced a noticable amount like that. Does that gap exist when the car is on the ground or only when it is lifted in the air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 ^ I originally thought maybe it pulls out when it's up in the air, but it stays out like that even when under full load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I have no clue how severe the axleshaft angles are with how low you are. My guess is that with some weight in the rear, you hit a bump and the force on the axle took the path of least resistance and pulled the output flange out a bit. You should be able to just knock it back in with a wood block and a hammer. You wouldnt want your diff bearings getting all nastied up with salt, dirt, and raccoon guts.

I'll give that a shot tomorrow. Go figure, just started raining. The car started REALLY making this noise when it snowed last, Who the fuck nows. but thinking back now, if I were cruising at a set speed (cruise off) while holding the gas down to maintain speed, then let off, it'd make a noise in the rear that I Thought at the time was the rear dif mount starting to go. But thinking back now, it definitely was this. So that might work Snap. As with all the driving I do, I have to drive down some shitty roads (and here in Madison too). So I'll give that a shot when it lets up! <3 you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 fwiw, it would probably be easiest to knock the output flange back in with the axle parallel to ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 fwiw, it would probably be easiest to knock the output flange back in with the axle parallel to ground. That's true. I can make that happen no problem. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might know exactly what happened to my car. an your theory actually makes sense. The night it was snowing (the 7th of this month) The girl and I went to pick up her friend in the bmw (stupid fucking idea to begin with) but anyway, her friend is of bigger descent. and I remember having to come into the driveway at a decent speed (otherwise wouldn't make it up the stupid incline. And thinking back now, that could have entirely been it. So I'll give her a smack with the hammer and block soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 So I'll give her a smack with the hammer and block soon! Don't smack the GF's friend. Bad for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
