Re: What has gone wrong on the road?
Michael, I am not sure exactly what happened but I was having these weird vibrations for a few weeks and then a really bad shuddering and locked up rear wheels. Once inspected, the pinion gear had pretty much no teeth left. The ring had damaged teeth. This can happen when something gets in the oil, or more likely, things just wear over a long period of time and nobody bothers to check on it. I don't think anybody had been in my differential for a long long time.
You can also ruin a pinion by flying through the air over a set of railroad tracks.
