Hey all so i've only had my 2011 SS Ute for about a month now and this morning when i was driving to work i was hearing the car making LOUD clunking/banging noises coming from the rear when going around round abouts and turning and feeling like the whole back right wheel was moving and something locking up then it got worse and was doing it while driving slowly in a straight line and while taking off from a stop, the whole rear of the car felt like it was jumping and locking up the noise was scary... anyway i ended up taking it around the corner to the closest mechanic to where i was working and of course it made the noise several times in their car park so loud that they came out the front and thought i hit something, they think it could be a driveshaft or the diff has snapped a tooth or something going by what they heard, one of the mechanics said the whole back wheel moved and jumped whole i was showing them what it was doing so i've left it there and hoping its the cheaper option... if however it is the diff and i need a new one im asking an opinion on if i should get a new one or a second hand or a recod one, im unsure of the price differences and my best choice since i have only just bought the car and may have it for some time im guessing a second hand one could be risky? off the top of the guys head he said a new one could be about $1000 for the diff? does that sound right? thanks
