Hi,

Thanks for the input. It has a 2-piece driveshaft and I know the driveshaft is good. I replaced driveshaft and all U-joints a couple of years ago. I am pretty sure this noise is coming from the rear.

So you can take the pinion shaft and bearings out by removing the piece on the front end of the pumpkin?

Typically how expensive is it to repair a bag pinion gear?
