Can you buy replacement back plates or should I weld a patch or two?

J999pre, sent you a PM back.

I had it in 4 wheel drive for awhile today and didn't get up any great speed to try it out to Be honest! Haven't had much of a chance to look into it again today at all.

I did notice however that even at a speed lower than 30mph web I hit a bump in the road it would rear its head for a short while!?

Think it's time to take the wheels off again...

Bought myself a pair of axle stands today... Need to beat this niggle!!!

Right, got the car up on the jack and stands this morning and have found a little something which may point towards the noise??

Found this... Think the seal has gone and it could be running dry of grease? Dirt trapped inside?
Just working out on the street today and its freezing, so might have to wait till next week once I clear some of the rubbish out of my garage!!
