Does anyone know a good gear place in Boston MA
 

Preferably near Belmont, so I dont have to drive this poor car too far. I thought I put the 3.73's in ok, but just today, the grinding started.

Acceleration is fine, no whining, but when I let off the throttle and cruise/decelerate, this ch-ch-ch-ch grinding sound happens (kinda sounds like a tire rubbing up against a wheelwell) but it's definatley happening in the rear axle. It stops as I apply throttle or stop the car. This cant be good for the gears.

I need a place that can adjust them for me.

I know of a couple places... that will DO them.. I cant say wether they are good or not cause I've never had them work on my gears...

There's a guy in newton, Socci Auto or something like that.. the local ford dealer refered me to him ccause he's all about fords... I was going to have him do mine.. but since the waether up here sucks, I figured I'd wait till spring for the gears... snow is tough enough with the high gearing... I've had him do other stuff for me.. and seemed like a good guy...

theres another place further south... MPE Racing in Taunton, MA.

If you remember FORTE'S performance parts.... they were in waltham and moved to burlington, I called them once, and they recomemded a guy in the burlington area... wich isnt too far either.. call them up.. they are in the bizness they should be able to help you out...

MPE Racing, has good guys over there.

Thanks bro, I love forte's. I go there to waste money almost weekly these days. I'll hit em up on monday

Well, I found the reason why it was grinding. The pinion is so loose that I can reach up and wiggle the flange easily about 1/4 inch of rotation. I can wiggle it back and forth a really itty bit. I honestly think I tightened it better than that. Do pinion nuts back off?

Wzorek's in Westfield, MA is known as a superior rear end shop. You will never go wrong with them!

Well, I went and gave myself a hernia tightening the flange nut. Since it was all together, I had to wing the torque: till there was some resistence. Seems to have done the trick, no more grinding.

I'm gonnahave it examined anyway
