good thread.
anyone else?
p.s. if you dont know your rear gears.just post the axle code located on your drivers side door jam sticker and someone here can tell you.(you can use your owners manual to look it up as well.or search online.it's a little harder,but its also stamped on a tag on one of the rear end covers.)

Five letter word, starts with w and ends with e.

That word will never make it through the language filters any way you type it.
