ok so sadly im putting up my camaro for sale. i have a baby on the way and im trying to figure out a way to keep my car. i really dont want a 4 door saturn as a toy. anyways i installed a carrier assembly out of a z28. actually my buddy did cause i dont know jack about rear ends. i drove it and it roars bad! i looked at the old unit and it looks like they didnt swap the ring gear. im gonna try that and see what it does

 

Apparently your buddy did not know moch about rear ends either. lol You can't mix & match used ring & pinion gears and expect them to be quiet.

 

yea i know...what would be the best way to fix it

 

The proceedure for removing and installing the rear diff is very detailed and very unforgiving. You skip or mess up one step and its all going to come apart very quicly. There is a reason why it cost so much to have it done by a garage. If you buddy mixed two different gear set he has no clue what he was doing. Now you need gears and the rear put together right.

 

can i have the old ring gear put on the posi carrier so that way the gears match?

 

You could try but you most likely have odd wear pattern on the pinion gear now. The cost of the labor to do it right is going to be high. If you are just going to sell it buy a complete rear axle out of a V6. It should only take a couple of hours to switch. None posi unit see for dirt.

 

well its only been driven for like 5 miles so i doubt its got odd wear...but i could be wrong, and it wouldnt hurt to try it...im really bummed out about it though cause i just got it painted

 

So you do know someone who know how to setup a rear correctly? Most shops charge about $400 to setup a rear. If it comes out noise because your pinion is messed up I would think that would hurt pretty bad.

 

i have a baby on the way too, and we aint getting rid of the camaros we got :P

 

im fighting to keep mine brother!
