About 2-3 weeks later the rear started making noise steadily getting worse. I figured I screwed up and crushed the crush ring and changed the preload. So I parked the car for the winter.Saturday I dropped the car off to have the rear done, I did not want to screw it. They finally got it in yesturday to tear it apart. They called me and told me everything was junk, axles, gears, bearings, everything. Then he told me that there was no oil in it. I was like WTF. I told him what I had done and I had just filled it. Then he told me that when I jacked up the car I bent the rear cover and all the gear oil leaked out.So be careful when jacking these things up from the pumpkin.I had 3:73 gears reinstalled, and they used Superior axles. I had never heard of them, but the shop I used has a excellent reputation so I trust them to use quality parts. Now it is nice and quiet and ready to roll for the summer.</blockquote>
