What hockey game? I've been a devout carolina hurricanes fan for about 8 years now. Watch every game and I go to many games here in Raleigh. <3 the NHL. Was a real thriller last night to shut down boston in game 7 overtime. We arent called the Cardiac Canes for nothin.

and now crosby shall have a field day :)

actually what all you are missing is that the housing itself is what was damaged in all the mishap and it is what is causing the high price. To get a new axle housing is just as expensive as machining the old one, but more reliable IMO. i honestly wouldn't trust having the original machined, but thats just me.

OP, ask specifically what was damged in the rearend/housing, and ask for a breakdown of the prices/parts list for things. My dad was quoted 1100$ here in ohio for a complete rebuild of the the rear as well(in his f150-same rear), but that included a new differential, ring&pinion, bearing kit, etc etc.

Just my 2cents
