Blown Rear Differential - Central NJ
I need to replace my rear differential on my 2001 mustang V6. I took my car to freedman auto and they quoted me $1100 for a Junkyard differential
Looking for a good Mustang mechanic around Central NJ.

Well if everything checks out ok, then maybe there's a bent axle or tweaked hub or something else internal but I've never personally heard or seen one cause a bad vibration at such a low speed.
$1100 seems a bit steep for parts and install, but maybe prices differ alittle to location. If your mechanically inclined, replacing a rearend is not that hard of a job to tackle it yourself. You'd save yourself $500-$600 for 3-4hrs of wrenching if it's your first time. Assuming a used rearend is $400-$500 around you.
Good luck and keep us posted on the outcome, just to help the next guy with similar troubles.
