HELP...DIFF going to BREAK?...HELP
I think I have a worn crush sleeve bearing on the pinion gear. I recently replaced my carrier from the type 2 (it was the stock torsen w/2.73's) to the type 3 (it's a EATON w/GM 3.42's). I've noticed a "grinding" noise and a slight vibration in my diff for while now...it's very annoying and I know something must be wrong. I can usually hear this noise when I am letting off the gas.
When took off my DS off to inspect the pinion gear, I noticed there was a lot of play...I'm able to move it in all directions and it doesn't seen like its suppose to do that!!!
Well, I'm thinking of replacing the crush sleeve bearing, will this solve this problem or am I going to have to buy a new ring and pinion gear set since the current set might be too worn???
Thanks for the help guys.
