I wonder what made the mechanic decide to remove the cover.


I made them do it, because there was noise in that area. Turned out to be the left wheel bearing, so had both replaced and the Watts linkage rebushed.

If this is a limited slip differential, I'll be amazed. Never seen any evidence of same in driving.....but I haven't been in a situation where it would be visible.....

I asked the mechanic if the bolts were tabbed, but they are not.

Does leave you thinking that checking yours might be a good idea....

FWIW the noise that led to this was sided, in this case louder on the drivers side, present whenever rolling and pretty much the same coasting or accelerating. Sounded to me more like a bearing issue and I got lucky....
