Dont just wack it in. $1200 for a 50,000km or less diff is what you will be looking for (for a drive in/out + Service) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77070-worn-diff-should-i-get-it-rebuilt/#findComment-1143807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should check prices of new ones..

Tobey Awesome...

I assume that's what's f*cked in mine causing it to whine and backlash...

Mind you this was also back in 2005 so prices have probably 'fluctuated'..
