so the LSD in my 85 has been making some new and interesting noises lately. i stopped driving it earlier in the week, and pulled the diff head out today.
some pics!

out of interest, where do you measure from to determine if you have the large or small diff? and any ideas on whats causing that weird worn section on the inner side of the drive shafts? the diffs made a light, constant metallic sound from the day i got the car, similar to a brake wear indicator or maybe even a fuel pump. i figure this was the cause - its almost like the shaft is too long, though both sides appear to be the same length.
diff is getting sent to diff specs on monday for further inspection.
