I guess the good news is that whole widget #14, which includes the bearing is only shown as $67. That's remarkable. And hopefully it's replaceable without disassemblying the whole car......
I guess a related question is why the differential bearing would pull out like that when you pull the axle and if there is some way to avoid it from happening? |
I thought c-clips hold the bearing assembly in, however, doesn't seem to be any. I know the rear diff has c-clips holding the bearing. None the less, that bearing is critical.
