Front Diff bearing
Well the 4.56 ratios and detroits got insatlled today. Only had a 10 minute drive home so far in the traffic so no comments yet on handling changes... but during the removal of the old gear the diff shop rang me to say the case hardening on some of the bearings had pitted and fallen off leaving metal through out the housing. I had planned to try and reuse the bearings since they are only 36K old but replaced them all for safety.
Anyone else who has changed their internals found the same thing? There were no strange diff noises and really it has has quite a sedate life so far.
I guess it would have held out another 11 months till the warranty expired ;)
The rear was ok.
