anyone ever have this problem?

 

I know a dude with an '05 GT that had that problem, but he is a moron who beats the ever-living **** out of his car.

 

I've had a pinion seal go bad.

I honestly always wondered why they sell those upgraded rear end covers with the adjustable bearing supports. I guess this is why. I always thought it was reserved for the hard core slicks and line lok guys at the track. I am still waiting on my IRS cover to crack on me like I keep hearing will happen at some point.

 

You talking about the bearing failing? If so it happens to cars that have differential leaks and have low fluid. Happens to the F150 guys alot who go off roading etc.. and tear up the seals for the diff cover or pinion seal.

 

a little more clarity please

you broke a "ring and pinion bearing" which one? thats 2 different parts, so you if you broke a pinion bearing, which one? front or rear? did you have gears installed recently?

 

just get the IRS brace and be worry free

pinion seals are freaking annoying! i replaced 3 this year alone...but than again they fail because i occasionally pull 170+ on the autobahn


to the op, i dont understand either. now, you probably broke your ring which in return thrashed your bearings.

 

lol i read the name of the thread wrong i completely thought you wrapped the rear end up or sheared teeth of ring or pinion or something
