Wow, that's one fuzzy magnet!

What's the damage in the first pic? It's outta focus and I can't see anythign wrong... are we looking at the spider gears? The differential? The case?

at first I looked at that and was like..."Dude, what kind of crack are you smoking, I want some, there's nothing wrong in those pics...except for the fuzz on the magnet." Then I saw the missing tooth. When I rebuilt my rear, I removed the pinion and the front bearing was sooo ground down that the bearing cage didn't even exist and a couple of the rollers were smashed flat. Good thing you got a new LSD rear for that though...good deal.
