My friend (works at his uncle's shop... they're done dozens if not hundreds of rears, custom cars, dragsters, etc) is gonna replace all the bearing for me and check out my Eaton to make sure it's fine and doesn't need a rebuild... best case scenario his uncle lets him do it as a side job, my cost $150 plus parts... second best his uncle doesnt let him do it as a side job, costs me $250-300 (discount from $350) plus parts... worst case scenario the bearing lets go, whoel rear gets F'd from pieces of the bearing flying around in there, will end up costing me around a grand.


I should just buy a goddamn 12 bolt already.

If you mess up your housing by having the bearing wear into rear. As long as I can have your rear for the brackets. You can have the 97 Z28 rear housing in my garage. Just got to pick the fucker up.
