Another vote for passing and getting a complete rear with the right gears in good shape. That 20 dollar housing would end up costing you around 800 to 1000 to buy all the pieces for new and have it set up right and that is US dollars. A good rear end shouldn't cost over 200 to 300 ready to go and needing nothing. That's Canadian $$ If they say the "rare" word or the "Z28" word they want too much money most of the time.
