Took the car to a differential specialist. He thinks the pinion retention nut is loose. Yet another mess up by my mechanic from heck.

6-900.00 to do and 2 days after all the parts get here possibly a week from Thursday.

He strongly suggested I not drive the car so I'll get to see what an open 3.5 feels like tomorrow when it goes in.

This is my fault because I thought whew, the car is done and all is well THE NIGHT BEFORE THIS STARTED

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It does.


Diff swapped out. It's weird how different the car feels Having only the rear solid bearing reduces vibration, torque feels down, obviously being pushed by only one wheel feels totally different. The whine is gone.


Ring and pinion look ok, hope they are.
