bearings and SC...
im not totally clear on the deal with our differential bearing failure problem. Will it happen on every car eventually or do you have to get a defective car in the first place? Will getting a SC cause it to fail? Is it one of those things that will happen evetually no matter what you do?
is the bearing problem a defect only present on some of our cars, or is it present on all of them?
I have 1996 SE 5 spd. Looking to SC as soon as I have the money (few mos.)
edit: oh yeah, have 120 k miles on it if it matters

whew, I think im alright then. Don't notice any leaking but I havent checked for play. I am the 3rd owner, so the problem may have been fixed in the past. Only thing I notice is slight whining in the lower gears, but im pretty sure this is normal. If anyone has one or knows of one, im looking for a used turbo/sc kit, I should have the dough for it in a couple mos.
