Hey Guys,
I have had a rattle under the ST for a little while, figured it had to do with my sway bar. Anyway, I went looking to tighten up a few things up the other day. I was able to tighten the sway bar just a bit which fixed the rattle, but while I was there I found some fluids that I didn't like so much.
First one was the oil pan. It looks like the gasket is leaking. Not too much because I check the oil regularly. Has anyone ever replaced this? If so, scale of 1-10 on difficulty? I've never done it but I am pretty sure I can.
Second one, the one I am worried about, is the rear differential. I would like to replace that gasket as well, but what is involved with that one? Do I need a hand pump to get fluid in there? How hard is that one.
Thanks for any info. I'm closing in on 200,000 miles, and am looking forward to the next 100K.
