Vibration didn't go away till 3 days ago on Friday, a loud bam followed by continious metal clinking sound. Car towed to dealership and was advised today that rear diff need replacement.

Has anyone have any similar problems? Stealership said rear diff will cost AUS$4800 to repair.:yikes:

hi yes my diff has gust gone bang 68000 miles

Not the case, I've owned a '79 6.6L Trans Am, '96 Cobra Mustang and '96 Viper that have all needed diffs replaced. TA had ring/pinion failure around 40k miles, dealer laughed when I asked for goodwill repair, high speed humm noise at 20k with the Cobra (warranty repair), high speed humm at 90k with the Viper, Kenyon Dodge in Clearwater, FL goodwilled that diff.
