Thanks. I put a used one in the 300td this year already. Not a good year for differentials apparently.
I put a wavetrac LSD into the 606 wagon. That is the only one I have rebuilt. Did not touch the pinion so I just bolted it back together. I suspect the howl is from the pinion. There seem to be a lot of these old LSD 560 diffs for sale, so I wonder if they fail more often for whatever reason. Anyway there is an ebay one not too far from me so I will put some bearings and seals in it and do the swap.
