The 4th gen 10 bolt rear is waay to small for the power these cars possess. As a result, anything and everything can break on these rears. If you beef up one item, the next weakest link breaks. If your car is an automatic, you stand a better chance of the rear holding up. If you have a six speed, I recommend joining Triple AAA. Bob

will changing the fluid and just a good servis help any?
i found a rear end cover that says that it will lower the opp. temp, increase the fluid add additional strenth, and preloads the bearing caps. i have no clue what that means but if it would help to same some of the rear end i may be game for getting it. can someone explane that to me? tell me there thought on anything that bay be worth it info would be helpfull

Nothing will really help to do much to keep the little 10 bolt alive, it is just too small for the horsepower these cars produce, especially with a manual transmission. Bob

The cheapest and best way to go in my opinion is with this rear.

Yes thats true, its becomes harder to turn but the more you drive one it gets easyer, they tend to "push" the front tires. Iv road in a few and its not too bad, just turn like youve got a 50ft trailer behind ya!!
