Hi I am new to the forumn and tried to search the forumns for an answer and couldnt find anything. Yeasterday while driving the rear wheels on my E locked. I crawled under my E only to find the rear differential is now cracked. Has anyone had this issue in the past? The fluid inside was clean and didnt smell burnt at all. So now I have to replace the whole rear dif. A friend who owns a shop (5 states away) says this rear differnetial is sold as a unit. Can anyone verify this. My local dealer parts department was of no help as they are in the process of upgrading there computers and couldnt give me a price or any information. If it is sold as a 1 piece unit does anyone have a idea of how much it costs? I know prices vary around the country and I am just looking for a ball park figure. Any help or information in this matter would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help or info in this matter.

Used rear diff.

Sorry to hear about your dilemma. Loks like you can get a used on on Ebay. They range from $350-500 depending on the mileage of the used part. Good luck.

Looks like the case isn't listed separately (though it sounds like your internals are fried anyway, so a whole new unit is in order).

Thank you both very much for your replies. Although it isnt what I wanted to see(especially the new parts prices) i really do appreciate it.

Check out Car-Part.com

It's a great website to look for used parts. I just bought an alternator and power steering pump with 30k on them for $120, for both. And I live in bum****, had to drive 45 min.s but was a great savings. Car-Part.com, good luck and welcome to the club!
