    I broke an axle at the dragsrtip.
    I couldn't get the diff out, so i took it to a rear end shop.
    They got the diff out and said the spider gear is welded to the cross pin.

    I'm trying to determine what type of diff to replace it with.

    Is this a race only car or street car too.

    That happens on that pin win the spider gear spins on it.....the faster it spins the more the oil is lost and friction grows cause then to seize together.

    I see alot cars at the track with sticky tires do burn outs with "Posi" rears only getting 1 tire in the box.

    They are only good for a few hundred pounds of torque bias then then spin and slip the clutches like and open diff.


    If race only go spool
