The diagnosed problem should have been that your pinion bearings are shot from a lack or too much bearing preload. A crush sleeve doesnt just fail........ and take bearings with it.
BTW..... what is a "rack gear" ??
And the quote sounds to be about $100.00 to much for what they are doing.
225 R&P
125 Bearings + install kit which includes seals, nut and crush.
35 For super shims
35 Cleaner, sealer and Locktite
275 Labor

I think you guys are getting screwed. I just paid $350 for ring and pinion gears, bearings and labor for an 9" center section. I did have the pumpkin out of the car though. Still way too high.

Hey HFLDTA, if you are in central Florida, go to Advance Driveline in Orlando. They just fixed my 9" after Strange fkd it up twice. I wouldn't trust Strange to put a tinker toy set together properly. Absolute morons and their customer service is even worse. It seems everyone bitches about Moser but I think Strange is worse. I am convinced that when you buy a rear you're better off having it put together locally.
