Hi Ingo,
I had a look at your video, and nothing leaps out at me about the driveline, but the noise from the diff and your comments about it have set me thinking. Clearly something is amiss with your diff, to which the noise and the metal shavings attest, and hard acceleration from rest will put it under a degree of stress. Could the problem manifest itself as a knocking noise in those circumstances? I really don't know, but it might make sense to prioritise fixing the diff next, and seeing whether the knocking is still there afterwards. Just a thought.

Hello everybody!!!

I just wanted to give a quick update on the 'knocking' issue I explained earlier...( I thought I had written this update already, but apparently I did not )

Anyway, I decided to take the driveshaft apart again....Jurid coupling, rear part of the drive shaft and center bearing...all parts seemed to be in perfect condition, so I just put everything back together....

While reassembling the parts, I tried to join the 2 parts of the driveshaft in various positions, but it actually only fits in one position ( even though I was still not able to find any reason why it only works in this very orientation ).

I installed the Jurid in a different orientation than before.

RESULT: I am not sure what caused the knocking, but for sure it has disappeared after I did this

Thank you very much again for all your help with this!!!!
