Can't believe it! When i bought my car about one year ago I noticed a semi-loud noise coming from the rear end. I paid little attention to it because one of my buddies said 10 bolts are just noisy... well I bought 4.10s recently and was in the process of disassembling the rear end when I took the carrier out and noticed that the side with the plate with the bearing on it (not sure of the proper name) was completely sheared off! I think I'm pretty lucky it lasted this long. Good thing I ordered the Ratech deluxe kit for all the bearings because they are all shot.

And also I have another question. I took the end plate and the piece that broke off with the bearing to a GM dealership and they said "thats not a stock differential". Well after doing some reading up on it, I found out that its a Torsen carrier and they only came in the 99 F-bodys. So as for my question, is there anybody who knows if I can only get the end plate? Or do I have to buy a whole carrier?
this is the 4th thread,here on ls1tech,I've seen about that end plate failure.
Torsen doesn't supply/sell replacement parts,the most common part needed is the 'paddle' as they're 'lost'.
You can obtain that end plate by picking up a used torsen carrier,they typically sell for 100-150,or a scrap torsen carrier that still has an intact end plate but is scrap due to internal gear failure.
