So I blew the rear axle. I dont know exactly what is broken though. I took it to a shop, they replaced the pinion bearing and axle gaskets, filled it with royal purple and it still has a whinning noise. I am picking it up today, I havnt driven it since I dropped it off but they told me the noise is still there. My friend doesnt know what to do.
I have seen some mosler axle/eaton diff packages for a bit under $600 but I dont know what to get.
I think I am going to get some steeper gears-4:10's or 4:30's why not while it is all apart?
When it was apart I looked at the wear by the hub(s)?-the outer ends of the axles where the wheel studs are. They looked like they where smoothed over too much so they may be the source of the whinning.
It sucks because I am paying a shop to take a part and put back together something that didnt get fixed, only to have to do it all over again at a shop that hopefully do the job right.
So component package suggestions are welcome! I plan on running the hell out of my car on the street, taking it to drag race, and occasionally on a road course. Sorry for the long write up.
