rear pinion
I have a 1996 explorer.I have a loud whining noise coming from the rear diff.I brought the vehicle to my mechanic and he says its the rear pinion .The price to have it fixed he says is arround $600-$800.
Is this a job that I could do.I have an ok ability for working on automobiles.I'm also wondering if I just drive it what would happen.
$600 is really to expensive for us right now.Thanks Mike

Mike,
It's more than you want to tackle. You have to set clearances on both the ring and the pinion gears. That is a pain in the you know what.
You keep driving it and your going to launch something sooner or later.
Have you checked the fluid level in the diff? Is the axle seals leaking? Is the front pinion seal leaking? Last but not least, can you feel any play in the yoke?
