I had that same exact issue, the side gear on the driver side ground the case down and the only indication I had of an issue is when the pinion bearing started whining, I was s.o.l though I was out of warranty, so I've lost confidence on a product that was highly rated, fortunately I found a 14 bolt out of a nnbs and put that in.........

Does anyone know if there is a kit I can order that would come with all the shims, ring gear bolts, bearings etc? If so could someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks!
