Noisey Diff When Cold

[sly32]

Hey,

well my diff started making a bit of a noise when i would first drive down the road, very soon after like with in about 15secs it would be on off with the noise and about 30secs later have no real noise at all,

so i decided possibly not enough oil? as it got a good coating it stopped making noise, but the diff also had a bit of a vibration i thought at higher speeds like 120 or maybe it was just because of the solid bushes i put on the sub frame,

i did a oil change, plenty of oil in there, but stuck to the magnet is a little ball bearing, like the size of a bb gun pellet, been sctrached up and there was a bit of sludge so i dont know how warn down it has gotten, im guessing it wouldnt have been much as when the outside of a bb goes it becomes very soft,

any idea's of what would run this size ball bearings? im guessing it could have something to do with the lsd (its a factory viscous R33 Diff), i really dont think it would be a bearing going for the drive shaft as its to small for that i feel, im going to pull the diff out today so hopefully i should have some more pics soon of what bearings it is,

if any1 knows what bearing this could be and part numbers etc to buy some more that would be good,

Cheers JV
