A quick update on the differential replacement!

Me and my friend weren't able to do it in the garage we weren't able to pop out the axle and just didn't have enough wiggle room to get a comfortable position. I took it to the shop and even they said it was a pain in the ***.

They said they had to drop the subframe about a foot and disconnect alot of things in order to get the differential out.

Now its all done and the G drives great! Some pics of the differenti




al.

Thanks for following up!

You should consider changing the thread title to "Front Differential Case Snapped..." for the benefit of future searchers.

I didn’t realize they had to drop the subframe that much. That looks like a good opportunity to replace or upgrade your motor mounts while your in there. Thanks for the follow up pictures and glad you got your car back on the road.

Another update on the front differential. So they took apart the differential and found what could have been the problem.

The yellow line indicates the pin that broke somehow, causing the red line (pin) to move freely so when I hit the pothole, the red pin hit the spline of the gear and caused the front differential to crack.

The cause was most likely not changing my gear fluid and ripping on the car. Be sure to change your gear oil!
