That is the pinion bearing, and it is replaceable.

However, those gears you have in the pics look pretty corroded (maybe its just the pic). Not sure I would use someting like that.

lol those arent the gears that i have bc those gears have the pinion bearing, mine dont

and i would never put gears like that in my car. the ones that i bought, the guy said only had 748 miles on them and they look perfect.
thanks for the help.

Don't forget the the Solid pinion spacer or crush sleeve, pinion nut and new pinion seal. WTH, just order a differential kit with it all. it probably cheaper
