Message: [QUOTE="Lubbockguy1979, post: 1262438, member: 385"] A few years back 3 or 4 i replaced the pinion seal. Fast forward to now and i noticed a whining noise first assuming it was hydroboost related i checked and was slightly low. Topped off the fluid and went on my way. Today though driving windows down and radio off i noticed out of the beer window a whinning noise on acceleration. Knowing its been 40k or so i decided to open her up and check things out. Fluid is dark but seems free of metal from what i can see with flashlights. I did see the contact area pictured. So next i moved to removing the driveshaft and the pinion had backed off apparently. Im in the process of tightening it back up now and it dosent appear to have a lot of up and down play or sided to side play. There is some rotational slack. How far am i going to have to go into this thing for a repair do you think. The gears, both pinion and ring look good as does the carrier minus the slight machine work.... can i thighten it up and roll with it or am i about to be rebuilding the axle or gear set?[ATTACH]38594._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]38596._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]38597._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH]38598._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
