    Hey guys so i have the dreaded front differential vibration and i took it to someone and asked em how much it would be to rebuild the front differential and they told me just labor would be 800 dollars... so you can understand my newfound motivation to do this myself. If any of you have a link to a good rebuild kit for a decent price please post it! Im not trying to put anything crazy in it i just want a simple rebuild kit with bearings, etc... i dont think i want to plunge into this on my own, i am going to try to find someone who seems confident enough in doing so to help me but if anyone has done it before or has pictures or anything that would help i would really appreciate anything i can get here. Thank you!

    I wasent going to replace the gears. I found the bearings and what not gor it for 165 dollars on ebay. The bearings are what is bad and since i have to replace 2 bearings so i figured that i would replace all the bearings if im going that deep into it
