I had a bolt that came loose on my ring gear and the bolt hit the housing of the differential and snapped the bolt in half while I was driving.. I have never heard that **** happening before. So when I took of my differential cover I seen my spider gears teeth are chipping and I have metal shaving all over inside the differential.. So I was gonna change my spider gears too..
