[urq] Rear diff

[Eric Renneisen]

Today I investigated a groaning noise I've been getting from the right
rear.  Wheel bearing seemed OK, so I checked to make sure the exhaust
wasn't rubbing the inner CV.  That's when I found that the right flange
on the diff has noticable play, both axial and radial.  I presume a
bearing has gone inside.  I'm going to see if a dealership mech buddy of
mine can get his hands on the tools to work on it.  I'm guessing there
aren't many of these 3.89 diffs laying around, unless someone has
swapped over to 4.11?  I guess I could go to 4.11 and maybe even try to
hack in one of the 01E 6-speeds I have, but I'd rather just get the car
back on the road.
