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

Probably needs to be rebuilt. What are the miles? You should probably drop it off at a shop, unless you wanna **** through money trying to do it yourself.

It's hard to get the backlash right man. If you're gonna DIY get extra pinion bearings lol

I can do it, just didnt know about that bearing but i guess it's screwed.
