Guys

Strange question but it was fitted 6 months ago, basically I had to move the
car out of the garage to get in the loft and noticed an squeak as the car
moved (no propshaft fitted), it seems to be coming from the pinion dust cover
rubbing on one point on the pinion/differential housing as it rotates
(slightly off centre).

Is the dust cover that goes under the pinion propshaft flange splined like the
flange? if not should it rotate? and does this mean I can try and undo the
pinion nut and centre the dust cover so that it doesnt rub at the one point?

just thought I would ask before I go down the difficult route (have no impact
gun to easily get the nut off so will have to lock the flange)

when I overhauled it I turned each shaft and flange and never noticed it but I
quess the wheels make it turn quicker

(note, no oil in axle yet)

thanks Andy
