[QUOTE="Tommy VanNess, post: 992393, member: 54664"] 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. Tommy [/QUOTE]
