Never busted a box, but I've done two rear diff crown wheels and pinions....REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY

Had the bearings and the crown and pinion replaced once because of a bad noise coming from the rear, and about 6 months later it started doing it again.

About a week before my factory warranty ran out, I decided to take the car to Subi Osb Pk just to see if they'd replace it again, and they did!!

They decided to replace my entire rear end assembly no questions asked. I saw the invoice, and it was 6300 bucks for the parts (lucky I didnt have to pay for any of it!)!!!!

Since then, it hasnt made any noises

Many years ago before forums were up I had blow up brett service my gearbox to replace first gear. came back with a busted reverse gear ! so i brought it back and made them fix it. they did, albeit 4 weeks later.
