I posted a few weeks ago telling a story about how I had driveline
problems with my '79 210. For those of you who do not know, I'm
hearing a loud (and I mean loud) knocking noise from the rear of the car when it is in
gear. I thought the problem was a result of bad u-joints, but it
turned out I was wrong. Although, the problem has not been officially
diagnosed, I believe it is a problem with a gear(mainly the pinion) in the
differential. Because of this, I'm figuring that it will be rather
hard to find just the pinion or whatever faulty gears I have in the
differential rather than the entire rear axle. I've done some
searching for 210 parts in my area (Phoenix, AZ) and I have come up
with little. I have heard of people "upgrading" to Stanza rear axles,
and I was thinking they may be easier to find. Has anyone done this or
know anything about beginning a conversion such as this? Are there any other options? Thanks
