i finally said screw it, i bought a whole new carrier for my rear end. got a good deal on it. got a helical gear posi (the one that is in the 2003+ cobra's) new for $120 but it is for a 31 spline axle, my question is how to get the best deal on axles and bearings. will the explorer axles fit in my car or should i go with som Superior axles for $250 or so? TIA and i hope this FINALLY solves my rear end problems
