Bought my 04 used with 23000 miles on it. The limited slip diff clanks when putting into gear. Now at 60,000 miles, it's real sloppy. Anyone else with this issue? Any recall notices on these? I couldn't find any, but hoping Ford has recall cause a bad rear end at 23,000 isn't right.
 






You sure that it's the Rear End, and not the Transfer Case?
 






pretty sure. I can turn the driveshaft by hand back and forth and feel the slop. Also, when I back up around a corner, you can hear it catch and bind as one wheel rotates faster than the other wheel.
