REQUEST DIY Differential Removal
well my differential on my AWD just crapped out, dunno what the cause was, could be staggered wheels, slammage, or bad luck, just unbolted the driveshaft hoping it was minor, ending up pulling out a large chunk out of the differential
it came loose while driving and all the fluid poured out and the rear locked up, if anyone have any idea what the part is and if it can be replaced/rebuildable or do i need a new diff that would be greatly appreciated, I know I need to drop the differential before knowing for sure what all needs to be replaced inside
heres some pictures
thanks all

Your diff is toast, you have one of two options.
1. buy the internals to rebuild your current diff. (This is the expensive route)
2. buy a used diff and slap it on (The most cost effective route specially if you do the work yourself)
Now take it that you will still need to inspect the car to check if you have something causing this issue.
I would start by the drive shaft check to see if it's bent or damaged in any way.

Might want to find out of the 3rd gen GS AWD differential is the same as the IS. Would increase your chances of finding the part

is your stagger setup within 1" Overall Diameter of each other. I remember when i switched tires for a bit and i believe they werent withing the 1" OD because i could feel this weird vibration. I had a feeling it was mess up my AWD so i switched back to the old tire setup and then the vibration went away.
