Gidday Dan. If the Factory LSD doesn't have spider gears, then why does the clunk happen on the left rear wheel? I have had it to my mechanic, who pulled out his manual on the diff, which showed a spider gearing between the 2 springs and the plates which make up the LSD. Do you know what it is then that needs replacing? He is happy to rebuild it if I can source the parts, which appear to be these bits, not the crown or pinion gears. Thanks

Thanks Dan. That sounds more like it as the clunk appears to come from that area, and I can feel a pulsing through the car when we had it up on the hoist and I had it in gear and the wheels spinning. I could actually feel a pulsing through the frame of the car. If you hear hooves, think horses, not zebras, which would be the motto here. He is an old bloke, with data to match. I think the diff he showed me was out of his Land cruiser, which would explain the issue. So what's the diagnostic for this? A hint would be great. Cheers.
