The problem happened about 10 days ago. I was making a left turn and it was a bit wet so i spun the wheels. I heard a strange sound, something like metal is breaking. My first thought was "ohh sh*t, the diff. probably broke", but the car was still moving and responding on the accelerator that in my head ment that it was still good. After about 1/2 mile of straight road the car felt like it had a flat tire, when i started to hit some corners there was a weired metal clicking (left and right turns) and a bit lost on power. When it did the clicking the whole front end rose up just a tiny bit. I manage to drive the car home and when i tried to park it , i had the steering wheel to full right and the right wheel had locked and was dragging while the left one was pushing the car.
What I have done so far:
Took both axles out and checked for damaged. They were ok, I even took them to a shop.
Everything underneath the car looks ok, but I found a bolt that had fallen on to the rack and pinion. The rack and pinion itself does not have any bolts missing.
Does this sound like the diff is acting up? Can a diff be partially broken, but still be able to move the car? Any suggestions and help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
