    While it is difficult to give an accurate on line diagnosis, I would suggest that rather than immediately suspecting the rear diff,

    You may find is more likely to be either a UJ on the drive shaft, a partial handbrake seizure on a caliper, or a wheel bearing, the actual rear diffs are normally quite reliable and usually either work or internally explode,

    As for a diff specialist, you are better replacing it with a (known to work)second hand one as the cost of rebuilding/revising is prohibitive.

    By Sunday I might be able to post some actual photos of the VWMS Rallye rear diff, both with & without VC elimination drive flange, along with other tasty VWMS items, as we are all off to somewhere rather special on Saturday! [:D]
    I must not forget to charge the camera batteries [:0]

    It sounds like your new springs are too soft.

    The rear springs are known to weaken & sag with age.
