HEY THERE,

I have some questions about my recent purchase Syncro. I have owned many
vanagons and I have been looking for an 87 1/2 camper (MV) Syncro, for about
three years. I finally found one in premo condition or so I think. 90k on the
thing, owned by an older 60's couple since new. M questiomn is .... When I
turn sharp in Reverse I here what sound s like binding with a loud sort of
"ping" "png" It makes me feel uneasy, IS THIS NORMAL?? is it possible that the
diffs are stuck in Locked?ALSO .... i HAD IT  up on a lift and I was checking
the underside, so I also checked the play on the front diff and the rear, the
front right tire seemed to have a lot more backand forth play then the
others...... normal???? How do I check to see if the differetial is locked, I
want to make sure that the selector actually works.....

Thanx for any help
