Last night I checked my differential and couldn't believe what I saw! The rear plate with two bushings had the right bushing missing. I could even see the threads. What do you all think? Note, I had been hearing a sound every time i let off the throttle so suspected the differential.
Note: The bottom caption should read \"Right side is differential with bushing missing".
Right side bushing gone and can see threads
Left side has bushing, right is empty and visible threads
Just a pic of differential
