Need good used 3rd member

[Guest bob89se]

Hello, I have a sound running 1989 Se automatic, with a 1993 rear LSD axle that works, however it has an annoying noise (high pitch "whoa, whoa") when making turns. So, it might be the case bearings are worn, which I doubt, but more possible is the gearing inside the pinion ring and pinion gear were never adjusted (shims for proper alignment of gears) correctly. Anyways, I'd like to buy a used one to replace mine. Maybe, someone has one just sitting around! Unfortunately, axles have to be off to side out the third member out of the casing. Maybe i can get lucky. Thanks all.

After backlash is set at the factory, there shouldn't be any need to mess with it, even when swapping third members around. I'd tear it apart and see what looks worn first. Might just be axle bearings. Are the rear brakes OK? Checked on them recently? I had an axle seal go out and dump gear oil on my brakes on one side a while back...
