Hi
Opel corsa UTE 2006.
I lifted the front the other week and turned(rotated) the front wheels.and
noticed that the free play in the diff was quite big.Degrees of movement
somewhere between 30-45.
At the same time at the end of travel in both directions there was a very
mechanical noise.

When I drive, occassionally at changing gears,usually second,there is a
moment where after pressing the accelerator,there is a delay before the
gears all connect and the tension is taken up in the drive train.
This comes with a clunk noise.

Should I be worried.?

Thanx/pete
