Hi,
I have a 2006 Nissan Titan 4x4
It just started making a clunking sound the other day going down the road...under 20 mph it could faintly be heard and got louder as you got up to speed.*
Today I pulled the driveline but decided to pull the cover off the rear differential and I found 3 large pieces of metal in the bottom...
Looking at the pinion (?) and drive gear they both look fine...
Reading up on this (more confussed then anything now) I'm making a wild guess that it is the spider gears (?)...
I wont beable to tell until I can pull the whole thing apart to get a better/closer look.
Can anyone help with what I should do? I am going to do all the work myself.
What do I need?
Whats the most cost efficient?*
Would this work to replace the spider gears? If that is the problem...

I'm mechanically inclined and know I can do the work myself, I just dont have the money for high performance parts let alone to pay a shop.
This is my only transportation and is my daily driver.
Any help would be appreciated
I guess first things first is to pull the rear differential apart...does anyone know of a good step by step tutorial for this?
I can also take a picture of the metal pieces if that would help?
Thank you
