4th rear help
I just installed a 4th gen ls1 rear into my 85 everything went perfect till my first test ride.
There was some noise comming from it and I found the pass axle bearing is whipped out along with some grooves in the axle.
It is an abs rear and i need a new axle. Do I junkyard hunt for 1 or buy moser axles for it? It looks like the mosers are 291 on jegs ouch!!! I only paid 350 for the rear and already have about 800 tied up into it.
Also do you think I should pull the whole rear out to flush it all out from the bearing failing?

Guess you should have checked before you put it in. 
Lesson learned! Too bad you learned it the hard way.
