Default That little guy?

I wouldn't worry about that little guy.....



Ring gear bolts broke and punched a couple holes in the casing while they were being tossed about before ultimately being ejected from the car along with all of the diff fluid. Which ended up all over the back of the car.

Found another diff locally, swapped my quaife LSD which miraculously survived unscathed and put some new bolts in the cover to dress it up a little.

A little of both probably. This time I assembled the rear end and set the gear lash myself instead of letting a tranny shop do it.

Plan on utilizing the rear bushing? Or am I looking at some sort of strange angle?

Must be the angle. The bolt is on it.
