Yeah, it looks like something was grinding on the springs. BUT, when I was in there I looked around and could not find anything else that it was grinding on. Pressure plate was ok. The clutch feels fine now that it has broken in (which was a nightmare) although it feels a little stiff. The brand new release bearing is being just as noisy as the old one I took out.
Drivers side axle looks ok to me except the fact that the outer boot is leaking a bit. 3 of the 4 motor mounts are brand new. I did notice that the front mount is slotted a bit. Is there an adjustment there I should know about?
Grinding noise I have now is the same as before, only happens with I make right hand turns. When I turn left, if goes away. This came back after I took the rear poly mount out of the car.
Is it possible I could have an incorrect drivers side axle? Too long?
