I found just now that the big washer was touching the cover of the diff housing 
: there is a groove where these 2 parts did touch. So the rubber mountings had 
no function anymore. Maybe the vibration of the pinion/crownwheel has worked as 
a hammering (in the curves)?

Marcel, I just had my diff apart to replace seals and just to look around 
inside. I had to use a 20 ton press to get those bearings off the inner axle 
shaft; very tight. I'd check the tolerances on the shaft and bearing. You may 
have some wear in the parts. Pressing them back together took some force too. 

Loc tite has a product for holding bearings onto shafts, green I think. It may 
help. 


Hope this helps and good luck.

The inner axle shaft (right side) has moved out of the axle house by as much as 
12mm, so far that a lot of oil has leaked after a race. 
The ball bearing has slided inwards on the axle shaft by the same amount 
(retained by the oil seal housing). Has anyone experienced this? Before? I 
noticed these bearings had moved a little, but never more than 3mm. In fact, 
nothing does prevent the bearing of sliding on the axle shaft, except the 
interference. 
Does someone know a fix? Loctiting the bearing on the axle shaft? Machining a 
groove for a circlip? 
Marcel.
