Hello All,
I'm having some rear-end work done on my 65 Fb. It was making a horrible grinding noise and it sounded like a bearing that was grinding. My mechanic replaced the outer wheel bearings and that didn't stop it so he tore down the whole differential and is telling me the pinion bearings went bad. BUT since he had it all apart he ordered a new bearing/seal kit and is going to replace it all. He's charging $500 ($250 parts, $250 labor) for the job.... does that sound right? It's about $400 more than I was hoping to spend, that's why i'm asking. FYI, I have had stuff done by this shop before and they did a great job.
-thanks for your time,
Jay
