hey guys....
changed my diff over today with one from a highly recommended vauxhall breaker and was told it was a good one....
old unit removed and new one fitted without any problems...
but when i took the car for a test drive all was sweet untill i hit 25 MPH.
the whole back of the car vibrates like crazy, and sounds very vibratey too...... (if you know what i mean)
now, i have done things properly, fitted correctly, put the right amount of oil in it tightened everything up........
what could this be?
?
i did notice that the rubber doughnut on the prop has splits in it, but the car did not vibrate, before the diff went pop...i also had to replace the 3 bolts holding the doughnut to the diff as they were chewed up when the diff belw... i replaced them with the same length bolts, but not the same ones....
when the old diff went and my rear wheels locked up.... could i have distorted or bent one or both of my driveshafts, or even the prop??
i also drove the car with a blown diff about 3-4 miles with it clunking like a clunking thing......
i really would like some help and advice as to what it could be causing the vibrations......
thanks for reading.

and as it happens we have a set of 4 here!!
