Rear end specialties has definatly fallen apart in the last few months. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Give my buddy a call over at valley differentials in stockton 209-467-4301.
Family owned and operated so you know they'll do their best the first time unlike other shops that have a ton of people doing rear ends and some that don't know what they are doing.

I have a suspicion that the yoke is worn and is tearing the seal.

They installed 2 sets of gears on my 94, I had really bad whine both times...I took it somewhere else had they got it right the first time...
I have to say, I know tons of other people that have had good luck with them though...

Spd- They are installing the pinion flange dry, plain and simple. If you do not wet the face of the flange down prior to install, it won't roll the seal over the lip, pinching it and it WILL leak after extended driving and heating up. I would take it back if I were you, it's all on them...
A driveshaft out of balance would have killed the housing bearing for the pinion first. Seals are flexible for a reason

Hey John, are you free during the weekdays for gear installs? I don't know what happened to this past weekend, but I guess I'll just give you a call. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I ended up going to Valley Diff here in Stockton, because it was the closest and he had good prices. All in all I would send anyone from the 209 area to him. He does good quality work, and really knows his shit. The only draw back was that I had to deal with Fostang the whole time.JK ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) Nice to me you bro, and hope to see you next time we do some local street racing. I have a friend with a newer GT with a bottle that would be a good race for your Fox you had at the shop.
Anyway that is my report, and I can't wait till they are broke in, so I can do some testing at the track.

Thanks for your quote John, I would have went with you because you were the cheapest, but Valley was just so close and open that Sat. My rearend was making to much noise to continue to drive on it.
