Diff Dilemna! Need opinions!

Something else is f'ed up someplace. No way you should be doing that kind of damage to an 8.75 unless you've got a POS Auburn diffy in there.

Was the adjuster removed?

Dont run a spool on the street. It sucks.

well like i said, i had severe wheelhop, so i know thats what killed it...the wheel hop was on the driver side, and sure enough it is the driver side axle that is twisted...i know the cause of the problem, its just a matter of dealing with it now

how bad are spools on the street? i know its really a matter of opinion, but my car see lots of street miles, and doesnt have power steering either
