2012 S63 Rear Differential Bearing Failure
I was disappointed to learn yesterday that the diagnosis for a low rumble in the rear of my car is bearings beginning to fail inside the "bullet-proof" rear diff.
Really like my indie, highly recommended and comfortable with him; he road tested, colleague road tested, ran the vehicle on lift and listened with stethoscope. That said, here are my questions for you experts:
Can this be rebuilt? If so by whom...any recommendations?
Is there a used one out there that will fit? I see one on e ebay, but being from an '08 it is not a direct fit although it has the same ratio; 2.65. I assume due to the engine change in '11.
Any other suggestions to help me save a few thousand on this fix?
Thank you community!

Thanks for your help and input. Appreciate it.
Can you clarify "WC" (For rebuilds simply search theres gotta be someone on the WC that rebuilds!!)
Thanks again
