............I think it's possibly the side yoke retaining clip (or clips) I can pull the yoke out of the diff 1/2" :banner:
I believe the little clip at the end of the spline is all that holds them in ?

I had those clips broken on my 77 and had all that free play you speak of, but had no noise that you speak of.  You will need to get that fixed though.  If it's been rubbing badly inside the diff you will need new yokes.

Have you checked bumper bar brackets etc?

Checked all the usual suspects, bumpers, exhaust (side pipes) spare carrier etc. etc.
All the rear suspension bushes look flogged out, so one or more could be the culprit, but will also pull the diff out and get it looked at,.
The yoke moving around is definately not good.
Anyone know a good source for a rear suspension rebuild kit ?
I might as well do the lot while I have it in bits :rolleyes:

While you’re at it you might as well replace the wheel bearings, and the handbrake mechanism.

Yep, I might as well.
Thanks

Do the handbrakes on C2s actually work?

(They're little more than a joke on C3s)
