Vz ute
I drove and heard a loud clanking sound thinking it wasn't from my car and I kept driving it went away. Then I came back to where I was suddenly that sound came back louder and my car would t move at all would just shake then I found 6 bolts and 3 things that they go through. I attached pictures. How do I bolt back the axel? Is it straight forward? How do I know when all the gearing is matching the diff? Do I need to jack up the car or not? It's a vz v6 auto ute I can easily manage to fit myself in there. As you can see the 2 parts that are meant to bolt together is not aligned one of the sides is higher and what about oil or grease?
