The back axle on my saloon was getting progressively noisier so I drained the oil ready for inspection and found fine bronze particles. Upon dismantling, this was found to be from the ball cages of the thrust bearings.
This was a short nose banjo vintage axle.
Bearings replaced and re-meshed and everything has been fine since (touch wood).
