Meh.. you guys are right.

I should be happy at least for suggestions that relate to possible areas of problem for the exact problem, but shouldn't expect an exact answer.
(i was kind of tired and disgruntled from work at the time of the post).


Well, I can't really get any differential bushings. I'm using custom washers, with longer differential mounting bolts. The washers are pretty damn thick, my dad made them at work (he's handy, but not automotively-tuned lol)..
The ony other area I can see that might mean that the differential is not on correctly is how all 4 of my rear cover mounting bolts (or maybe the rear cover threads) are kind of fucked.
(meaning, all of them got tight, and then got loose.
I believe I overtightened them with higher than required torque specs when I put the differential in)
They're still tight and holding it well, and not much I can do about that problem unless I take the diff out, or if it is the bolts that are fucked up and not the rear cover thread.

I pushed my leg up against the diff as well, no movement.

Lastly, I did what somebody suggested in a thread I came across when searching.
(Lifting the rear end up, and rotating the wheels.
Found that my output shafts don't have any play, and there is a *clicking noise* that could be a *CLUNK* when the car is really driving with more pressure than my bare hands.. ---Coming from the U-JOINT--


I believe the problem lies in my driveshaft assembly (Most probably the U-Joint)


Thanks for all the help and suggestion, it helped me narrow it down to the problem.

Also, this post is just to add on to the thread in case some other Zilvian has the same problem.

Thanks again.
