who rebuilds diffs?
my diff in my 99 frc with 131k has developed a whine.
im looking to get it rebuilt by a quality shop with the same 3.42 ratio. a local one would be preferable. I want to make sure the shop is top notch. Pressing in the bearings is quite an art from what I hear, and I want someone to do it that has experience with these diffs. I am in the Detroit area.
I thought about getting a quaife, but i cant justify this considering I am not making that much power.
how much should I expect to pay? i will be removing it myself.

ive been planning on going to indianapolis soon. perhaps i can drop it off while im down there. i guess I'll have to give RPM a call and see what they charge to rebuild the diff since it isnt listed on their website. not really looking to upgrade anything, just a rebuild.

Price for a rebuild would probably be the same, maybe a little less if they are able to re-use your original gears. I doubt they would re-use your stock gears though. If you are going in there, do it all at once. Imagine having a diff rebuilt and leaving in your stock gears, get the car running, break something, and have to pull it a month later because you kept the stock gears in there?
