Front differential roar

[biggiesize]

Whats going on everybody?I have a 99 sport.It started making a roaring noise so i figured it was the front wheel hubs,(again).I replaced them and only one turned out to be bad.But after I tried it out, it still has a grinding noise which im assuming is coming from the front differential.I have always kept the fluid level maintained so I know that isnt the issue.Im wondering if the front differential has bearings that can go bad.If so,whats the procedure for changing those out?Are they dealer exclusive parts or just standard bearings at parts stores?Any help would be appreciated.

I've got a complete rebuild kit for $100.45. It's everything you'll need.

I purchased this kit from Eric a while back and had someone install it, my problem was the pinion bearing. I paid a tranny shop about $350 to do it. It was done in a day and no noise since! If you have the time to do it this kit comes wiht everythign you need except tools and fluid.

I bought the kit to and it was great for the carrier and pinion but it doesn't have the axle bearings or seals like I was led to believe.
