    I have a feeling the shop that did mine fried a bearing in the differential. They're currently replacing the side bearings in it. I assume this is a possibility but they've denied it

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I can only say it is quote possible .

    Heat and bearings are never a good match .

    I was giving some thought to doing this type of repair on a exchange basis just not enough local demand .

    Can you post a pic of the frame? Both sides. You may have a bigger problem at hand.
