Diferencial Issue (Pinion seal/ bearing)
Hello everyone, so my stang was leaking fluid from the pinion seal and in 4th and 5 gear the car makes a noise, cant explain very well tbh. Like an acute noise (dont know if im saying it right). So i decided to take off the rear axle and disassemble the dif. The seal problem was obvious, now ive got a question. The pinion bearing should work tigh right? Asking cause, when i put the pinion in his place, tha back bearing fits perfectly, but the front bearing have a clearance.. if i move the pinion front end with my hand (conection part to the axle) it moves up and down a litle.. is that bearing screwed up or it's that normal? The best thing to do it's replace them all?
Leaving pics to explain what im saying.
Pinion front end, have a gap (dont know how to spell it properly sorry :S ) it moves up and down.. lolxD
