Guest digitalz Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 my driveshaft yoke (diff side) is hitting the handbrake pivot (the one above the diff) under hard acceleration. does anybody have this problem?? my diff mount could be toast or do you have to grind some part of the mount off?? will check mount and bolts later, just wondering if any of you experienced this. finally got it on the road! thanks, kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rooh Posted October 10, 2001 Share Posted October 10, 2001 Try a solid front diff mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Ya, I notice it big time. My diff mount is sheared, and it makes a nasssty clanking when I get on it hard. Get a new mount, or a solid one - both cost about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Bayley Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 After one run with nitrous and the Drag Radials, my front diff mount said: "I don't think so" and I started to hear the driveshaft hitting the P-brake. It took me a while to figure it out. I also switched to a poly trans mount for added piece of mind. -Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanzo57 Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 Congratulations on getting the car on the road! I had the same problem the first time I drove my car after installing the V8. I tried a new stock mount, but it did not solve the problem. I ended up drilling and tapping two holes in the front of the diff mount and bolting on a piece of 2" angle iron that extends under the crossmember. The angle iron limits the upward movement of the diff to about 1/4". Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest digitalz Posted October 11, 2001 Share Posted October 11, 2001 yeah....that thing was driving me crazy till i got a flashlight to look under there. i put a new mount in but same thing. didn't think it would pitch up that much. when a lot of torque is applied the diff wants to nose up. i had cables on but guess it was not tight enough. i will try to weld the old mount and try that. if nvh is unbearable then probably go back and add a metal strap on top of the nose to limit travel. nvh...hmmmm....already loud, cam at idle, coilovers, etc......nvh whats that? thanks guys!
