Just got back from a 4 day ride at hatfield McCoy trails in West Virginia. Had a blast and the renegade ripped hard until half way through the last day. Started hearing a noise and progressively got louder and then I realized rear pinion was loose and the noise was the caliper rubbing the brake pads when the pinion was in a bind under throttle. Well being 50 miles from the truck I needed to get my gade back. Drove it all the way back taking it easy and stopping to cool down and check on it. Well when I got back it started to fling my fresh amsoil synthetic gear oil everywhere lol.

Got it take apart today and the splines on the diff feel good. The splines on the drive shaft look okay but if you rub it they kinda feel sharp where they might have got a little boogered from driving with it loose.

What do you guys think is the best fix. Get a new deal for the diff, and bolt for the pinion And roll on once I make sure there isn’t any shavings in the oil? Or does more have to be replaced. I will look at he pads and rotor and see if they need replaced as well. Thanks for your help. Here are pics I took
