I don't see how a complete replacement will be any different than a carrier replacement. It just saves the shop some labor as I'd imagine it's actually easier to swap the complete axle/housingMine is back in the shop for a 3rd time for this issue. First 2 times they replaced the carrier assembly. It did fine for a few thousand miles then started knocking again. I took it to a different shop this time around (recommended by a forum member). The new shop called me today and said they are ordering an entire rear axle. Unfortunately, the axle is on back order until early May. So I'm stuck driving a gangster looking Chrysler 300 rental for now. I'm hoping this will finally fix the knocking issue. Has anyone had the differential start knocking again after a full axle replacement?
If the issue is the LSD clutches deteriorating (and I think it is based upon info in this thread and the black gear oil), replacing the carrier or the entire axle has the same result.
