should still be warranty...go to a dealership and play dumb...as long as its still stock they will usually fix it for free.... just make sure to say you dont know what happened....just make like you were driving like normal and all of the sudden something started making a racket in the rear....

don't save for a 12 bolt. save for a 8.8 hybrid. Cheaper and just as strong with the same internals, plus not the hassles of a 12 bolt.

What hassles are there on a 12-bolt? And how much is a hybrid?
