Background: Been told that differential housing on this Mustang is bent slightly from a rear-end fender-bender. Need new differential housing according to mechanic. Evidence for this apparently is intermittent rear-end garbly noise, rear brake pads prematurely worn, and brake pads are worn on a diagonal [/|] as opposed to even wear around [||]. Should we believe this mechanic, does this scenario seem reasonable? Anyway we can check for ourselves being limited mechanics? How can we identify the differential specs for this model and year in case we need to go find one in the market? There is no identification plate on the housing itself. Finally, any suggestions where to go to find a Mustang differential? Lot of questions...any help is appreciated!
