8.25 carrier wear

And not to mention, your axle tubes are full of fine metal shavings, too. So as AJ said, wheel bearings are highly suspect as well. And especially with a C clip axle, I also get concerned with how much heat got transferred into the axle shafts when the diff was grinding itself into mill shavings. It doesn't take a whole lot of excess heat to foul up the temper in an axle shaft. I seen someone learn the hard way once that the guts have to come out of an axle when welding new spring perches back on. It definitely wasn't pretty.
