Gears hurting when turning

CBSTANG · November 21st, 2009, 11:23 AM

Hey guys, about 5 months ago i installed some 4.10's. up until about a month ago, they were perfect. Now, when ever i am turning at a slow speed you can here them grinding bad. soon as i straighten out it goes away and all is good. There is no whine while driving. Any ideas as to why this is happening now? is it possible that the pinion nut has gotten loose? Any help would be great.

Did you rebuild the diff when you put in the gears?

CBSTANG · November 21st, 2009, 11:31 AM

all seals and bearing were replaced. All bolts replaced, the only thing reused was the actual diff gearing.

HMUSN · November 21st, 2009, 11:32 AM

well, only one way to find out. Pull the cover and inspect.

Clutch packs are fucked.

CBSTANG · November 21st, 2009, 11:52 AM

can those be bought seperatly? why the hell would they go bad? i have 60000 miles.

Yea, that's what I was thinking Zip. Yes you can buy a diff rebuilt kit. They can go bad from wheel hop.
