I'm getting some pretty serious noise from my 1982 245 rear end while under way. Pretty sure it's the differential, most likely the pinion bearings. There aren't a lot of low-mileage, boneyard rear ends with the ratio I need (3.53:1), so I am looking into the possibility of replacing the bearings myself. Anybody tried this? Any success doing the repair with the rear end still in the car? I know another solution would be to settle for a later model boneyard rear end with a different ratio, but I would like to avoid altering the power/fuel economy balance if I can. Thanks in advance for all your help!
