Front Differential AND Driveline

F5 what do you think? If the diff was torqueing an inordinate amount because the mount was shot could that cause a ring gear/pinion failure...

I have been wondering that myself.

It all depends on whether or not the pinion angle is changed under torque. and if the degraded bushing causes it.

Curious.

Could be a Chicken and egg question.

I talked to the tech about it this morning. His diagnosis was that the pinion gear was jammed into the ring gear causing the damage (at least on mine).

Take a look at the pic I posted on the other thread.

I saw it... I think he should check the carrier bushings....just for good measure.

Neo has had his replaced.
