Time for a new rear end

[iRoush]

Well, I think it's done and over with. A few months ago, I launched fairly hard at the track and I heard a pop come from the rear. But, the car kept going so I thought it was just exhaust... Well, 3-4 months later I'm getting a strage sound coming from the rear with every rotation. Then, couple days ago, I here a loud pop come from the rear every time I take a corner. Last night, I took a turn (slowly) and one rear tire locked up as I turned. Then when I straightened out, it popped and started rolling again. Anyways, it's basically toasted. Not sure exactly what, hope to find out this weekend. Meanwhile, I am still driving the car. But, only about 4 miles a day. At least, until I make my 200 mile trip this weekend to my parents place and the shop I'll take my car to. Basically, I'm posting this because I will be updting with pics the whole way. Also, let's say I need a whole new rear, should I just go built 8.8? HP right now is just shy of 550rwhp and just shy of 570rwtq. Also, what's the going prices these days? Thanks all!

If you are planning on taking it 200 miles away I sure hope it is going to be on a trailer. That noise you are hearing when you turn is a broken Spider Gear or two. That means they have metal chunks floating around you housing getting stuck in all the bearings. The tire may have locked up due to a piece of metal becoming lodged in the carrier. If the Spider Gear drops out it can cause the Differential Pin to shear the bolt and fall out. When the pin falls your rear end housing becomes two pieces.

If you drive it 200 miles like it is you just as soon order a Currie 9" so you can install it when the wrecker drops it off. I would not be driving it like that especially if one are the tires are locking up.

I destroyed a Tru-Trac in my 8.8" that made the housing junk and also broke a Tru-Trac in my 9". I have a Detroit Locker in it now but looking hard at the WaveTrac that Ron has.

Oh damn, I thought you didn't want it... I bought it last night and had him bring it over already. I guess if you still want it, I can sell it to you for a little more.
