Re: Diffrential trouble

I hate to ask but have you checked the fluid level??? Highly possible it could have leaked out while the car was sitting for that long. If it has the proper amount of fluid I would drive it and see if the noise goes away (odds are if it doesn't go away in a day or two its not gonna).

Before this thread gets moved I'll add my 2 cents.

Do not spend $700 to rebuild your rear end, even if it does turn out to need a rebuild just go down to the junkyard and get a replacement.
