Default A Good Place in So.Cali to get some Diff work done !
I'm looking to get 3.73 gears, a pinion bearing and carrier bearings installed on my '99 A4, series 3, 10 bolt,Torsen Diff.
I don't have the cash to do a compleate swap, and I don't do any racing.
Just looking for a reputable and reasonable shop to handle this for me. Did the Axels and axel bearings myself, but the thing is still noisy - 157k mi. just time for a rebuild.

I can drive anyware in So. Cali or even Vegas for Good service,and a job done right, at a resonable price I can supply the install kit if needed.

Thanks
