I'm Awesome
Shame you didn’t get much response to your questions. It’s never a good idea to not replace a pinion crush sleeve once it’s been loose. Unless someone put a crush sleeve eliminator kit in it there is a crush sleeve. By the sound of what’s happening that’s why you don’t re-use them. I’d say you could get a sudden surprise when the pinion bearing (the super hot spot) leaves the chat at speed and the rear end eats itself alive. It’s not a hard job to do differential work but it has to be very very precise. Time to either pay a pro or find another rear just like it at the treasure yard. Walk away and remember the lesson learned, you’ve paid some tuition for this education already.
