My rear diff is knocking when I pull off ! So have decided to fit a secound hand axle !
So just wondered will a 2011 rear axle fit my 58 plate nav ?

It should be fine as both are 2.5 engine models and that you are not mixing an automatic gearbox version on a manual and vice versa.

Very good point and a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to fix :fingersxsheepy said:

Do a full inspection of both the propshaft(s) and their UJs before stripping anything down. Jack the front and back up checking the drive system for any slack. The cause will probably be obvious when you spin a wheel.
Pulling off the rear plate from the diff may show if there is any broken bits.
To remove the diff from the axle you need to pull out the halfhafts anyway. If one is broken it will be obvious.
Rebuilding a diff is quite an involved process that I would leave to a specialist. If the diff is knackered the used axle may be the easiest option.
Good luck and keep us posted

·Check your oil level,
check your rear wheel bearings for noise/play (handbrake off & front wheels chocked)
Check uj's (grab/lift/twist in 4 directions)
Check play in diff bearing
Does the noise alter on acc/over-run?
Does noise alter on cornering?
Any oil around or in the rear drums?
As eddmurphy explained, it will die very shortly if the diff is knackered.

Are you even sure it is the back axle? Noises are hard to pinpoint, for example the dodgy dual mass flywheel can make odd noises.
