Now that you mention it, if this car has been abused, which other components beside the diff should I be inspecting/replacing? Thanks.

Diff is always the first to go, then the transmission (usually second gear) but that doesn't usually happen unless you are boosted and pushing a lot of torque. The engine can take a pounding as long as you maintain it properly. I've pulled my oil pan and my valvecover recently (I'm just under 100k) and everything is as clean as a whistle.

GAH, I'm having the same issues with a clicking sound in the rear. My driver side axle got all messed up BUT I changed the cv and the sound is still there. I'm going to change the fluids and see if I'm just low on that or if completely gone. I wanted to know what should I do if the diff is toast? And how could I know that for sure? Help!
