[QUOTE="rideelement247, post: 10287803, member: 113234"] Had another shop open the diff and check fluid "supposedly". Guy was under the car for about an hour changing oil, fuel filter, oil filter, and tranny fluid. All looked fine. He claims he looked at the rear diff fluid but the time he was under the rear end didn't seem to be enough to go under there and pop it open and check. Claimed to be such a tiny amount out of the diff and not to be concerned. Sorry guys, don't trust anyone not as anal or passionate about my car as myself. Watched the mechanic do all the work and told him I was going to since I have been screwed over by mechanics before. Which is true and I have plenty of stories but anyways... If I do have the diff pulled and resealed I think I will get a 3rd opinion. How often should I put more diff fluid in the rear end if I leave it leaking slightly? Another thing is steering creak. On a frame lift, couldn't isolate it by turning the wheels. Guy took what looked like an aluminum crowbar (don't know the tech term sorry) and rocked the front suspension up and down manually and it seemed to be the front two bolts a little loose and then one back behind it as well. This is a little above the tie rods. Control arm bushings (that I checked myself when pointed out) are not worn or do not need replacing. After driving off and about 10 miles of driving the turning creak came back slightly and eventually just as loud as before. So any ventured guesses or cheap fixes? [/QUOTE]
