Re: IML: rear axle problems

["mike and linda sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well after reading thru this thread, it does appear that the culprit is in 
the differential. If I am correct in what I read, youre here in the 
Northwest.  Between Dean Transmission, Pat Blais and Randys Ring and Pinion 
in the Seattle area you should be able to find any and every part you might 
need.

In 1989 when I was doing the chassis and suspension work on my 62 I pulled 
the axles and replaced the axle bearings and had the differential out at the 
same time since I really didnt want to go thru the axle pulling chore again 
any time soon. Had no trouble with the diff, and the rear axle bearings and 
seals got replaced because I figured if it went 27 years on the first set 
( which  still seemed perfectly serviceable ) if I got another 27 on the 
second set it would be someone elses problem on the third time around.

A year or so later I bit the bullet and swapped a sure grip unit into the 
Charger , and after buying the pinion bearings and the center bearings and 
all the small parts and a new set of sure grip clutches AND the tooling 
which I will probably never need to use again, I would definetly recommend 
just buying an exchange unit. I dont work for them but Randys Ring and 
Pinion would be the source Id go with, they can handle the race car types as 
well as the pass car stuff equally well and they can sell you one outright 
with yours as a core.

Good luck
