My rear end is screaming at me. My shop says they will have to tear it down and its probaly a pinion bearing. Now I can get a frpp differential for like $180 plus labor. Now with the new differential I won't have to worry about any of that stuff right. Or just keep the differential I have and just get it torn down and fix whatever needs replaced.

Thanks
Josh

it depends on what you will use the car for. If you are going to run sticky tires I would go with a 31 spline diff and axles and have the clutches rebuilt for the limited slip if it is not a new unit.
