Ok so i put my 99 T/A in the shop to have the rear rebuilt and add 4.10s. I got it back the other day and it whines just as bad as when it went in. The mech. told me the carrier was worn out so he couldnt get a good pattern. the best part is he said that i had to buy another gear set b/c he drove around on it and apperntly wore the crown off of the gears and cant get a pattern. How do i handel this he charged me 1200 to do the work!!! thanks, dane

i run a shop. if they just did rear end take it back to them a demand it be fixed right. they should of never let it leave if there was a problem. how many miles did you put on befor you brought it back? also ask them what tool they used to set up rear end.

i just installed 4.10 yesterday and make no noise at all. wes

wes302

also what parts are included for 1200? seems really high.

The only part the supplyed was the gears i had everything else minus shims and lil things like that i picked it up fri and he told me to drive it for the weekend and see. he told me if it was to loud that i would need to buy new gears and a carrier. he also had my car for almost 4 weeks
thanks

Sounds like BS to me. Does this shop specialize in rear end setup or just try to do one here and there? I am betting they didn't really know what the hell they were doing, maybe that is why it took them 4 weeks to figure out. Usually about a day turnaround on a gear swap as long as there are no problems once things are apart ex. bad bearings, busted carrier, or some part not on hand.

Someone would have their *** handed to them on a Platinum platter. Damn man thats shitty of them. Go back and demand they fix it or you and the local news crew will be up there to interview them. That always gets em

bigdane20

thats what i took it there wast to change all the bearings, then they called me while i was offshore to tell me i needed new gears. thats why they got them at a price of 298 what a rip off!!! Also can the carrier be worn so bad that they cant set the gears.

bigdane20

i just dont see where i should have to pay for another gear set are more labor

wes302

i would take it back and raise hell. for 1200 every thing should be brand new. for a few hundred more you could have a new 12 bolt in there. next time go to your local forum on here and ask around for a good local shop. to do your whole rear is about a 4-5 hour job with the right tools

wes302

you should not have to pay again. with the market the way it is today there are alot of shops ripping people off.

bigdane20

thats why im a lil pissed the total with tax was 1400 a few more would of had a bolt and no worries,i just fell like i threw away money

bigdane20

i agree on the gears he told me the few miles he put on it wore the crown off so he cant get a pattern and that you cant re use gears

wes302

he told you that to let you pay and leave the shop. take it back to him and if he will not make it right file a claim with your cc company

bigdane20

yeah i am going their monday. what about the carrier be ing to wore out to set thr gears im not understanding that

wes302

unless your housing is tweaked there should not be a problem. if he noticed a problem during assembly he should of called you and gave you some options befor he finished car and ruined your gears.

bigdane20

Ya **** that.... I as a tech for a while and there is NO way I would've paid f he didn't call me and get approval for ANY kind of work done to my car. I f he just took it upon himself to so call "fix" your car you got his *** and would raise hell until everything is right.

Yea idk about that statement Mine were whining pretty loud for about 3 weeks right before this happened

bigdane20

yeah i called him every couple of days to see what was going on he told me he pulled it apart 3 times, the first time he said that the pattern was pertfect but it whined a little 2 times later i get it and it perty loud at 55 and under, 70 is not to bad thought
