Purplefade is on a distinguished road
Mine did... went through a dreaded undiagnosable shimmy for months before mine went boom.

One thing to be careful of, there are two lengths of drive shafts, I don’t recall exactly but one is about 20 mm longer than the other and depending on which one you have, it will affect which diff you buy.

There are also diffs with high speed synchronizers and diffs without. I made life easy, I called my dealer with my vin and got all of that before I ordered my diff.

Then I found a diff on eBay, emailed the seller, got the vin and numbers off the diff and called my dealer back

When I found a match, I snagged it

While you have the new used diff in hand, it’s the perfect time to pop in new seals and change the fluid too.

I didn’t actually put mine in, but if you can get the rear axles out, it’s pretty straight forward.
