Rear end problems When I was at a shop I backed up and then pulled into the shop. Well when I put it in first and pulled foreward. POP! rear end went. The car has never been beat on (they pulled the clutch yesterday...25-25% left after 80K miles and it looked in good shape). Anyways, pulled the diff cover and the ring/pinion look mint...with 50thousands slop!!! Issue is the pinion bearing is SHOT! I never heard any whining or other noise ect. from the car. That pop was my FIRST AND ONLY clue something was wrong. I have never launched it, spun the tires, or powershifted it.
Now what bothers me...
The Torsen unit LOOKS! fine, as do the ring/pinion. HOWEVER, when it was on the rack, I spun 1 tire and the other did nothing. I was told this is normal, but I have also heard it should rotate opposite the one I was spinning. Is this normal for the other tire not to move at all since it is in the air?
