Default Help please

this past week my rear end almost took a **** after being rebuilt about 3 yrs ago, and not being driven hard at all. I was cruising at about 20 and the rear made a clunk noise and locked! I got rolling again and limped to the shop.

He opened the housing and the cross pin that holds a larger pin in place had came unscrewed. it didn't break, it just came undone. The larger pin was bent and a little mangled at the tip, and one of the teeth from my spider gears inside the carrier was chipped off. The original pin was from auburn, he replaced it with a gm pin of the same size and retorqued the cross pin with lock-tite. I normally ran royal Purple with gm additive, he installed amsoil with the gm additive. Since then don't know if its mental or actually happening but it sounds like a slight whine from the rear now.

Do i need to eventually buy a new carrier? Will the rear hold up? Any suggestions?

Just save your cash and buy a 12 bolt or a 9" dude.
