What causes differential backlash?

The pinion gear is supported by two bearings, whose pre-loads are established by a crushable spacer between them. When a differential is set up this spacer is crushed by tightening the pinion nut; if the spacer is crushed too much, you get excessive backlash.

Which condition generates a clunking sound in the differential?

Which condition generates a clunking sound in the differential? Clunking and banging noises on the corners can be due to lack of sufficient posi-traction lubrication, broken spider gears, or worn posi-traction or limited-slip clutches.

What happens with too much backlash?

Ring and pinion backlash. As the gears operate, they produce friction and heat. This makes the gears expand, reducing the clearance between the meshing teeth of the gears. However, too much ring and pinion backlash can cause gear noise (whirring, roaring, or clunking).
