new gears I'm thinking of getting new gears for my car but I have some questions about my old unit. I can hear a slight rattling sound coming from the rear of the car but only when I'm under hard acceleration. Also, I know my LSD isn't working properly cause most of the time my right rear wheels spins and the left doesn't.
Should I get my stock carrier serviced/rebuilt when I get gears installed and will that fix the problem? Any one know what that would cost or what the problem might be?
I'm going from a stock 2.73 to a Richmond 3.73 and I have no traction control, FWIW.

If your 2001 still has the stock carrier from the factory line,it would be a Torsen,cost more to rebuild it than to replace it. Could pick them up used,but still servicable,for 100-150,used Auburns(98s' and earlier)would go in that price range too.
If you pick up a carrier from a 2.73 rear,you would need 3.73 'thick' gears for a 2 series carrier.If you pick up a carrier from a 3.23 or 3.42 rear,you would need 3.73 standard gears for a 3 series carrier.
