Hello all. I just purchased a 1997 Cobra convertible and I'm new to the forum. I have a couple of questions and need your opinion. The car has 50000 miles and the rear end is making noise. Needs rebuilt due to sitting and fluid not being changed I'm guessing? We pulled the rear axles and changed out the axle bearings thinking that was the noise. The drivers side axle has a slight bit of pitting on it. We used the bearings that ride in a different spot than stock thinking that would be a good fix. The new bearings did make a difference, but still noisy. SO my questions are:
Should I just rebuild the current rear end, new bearings etc., or go with one of these 31 spine carriers/axles if I'm going that deep?
If I do stay with rebuilding the stock set up, where that axle shows some pitting should I just replace it?
