Took the 2012 Avy LTZ(117K miles) to the mechanic after loud bangs and some grinding / scraping sounds on cornering, coming from the rear-end. I was informed the gears on one side of rear differential were basically worn smooth and this was causing significant play. The service tech recommended a full rear differential replacement, where even a rebuilt(1 yr warranty) was going to cost $2900 including labor.
Not sure why this happened, as he said there was plenty of fluid in the differential. My user name reflects the fact I have driven about 1 million miles in 4 different Avy's going back to 2001... and I have never experienced this problem in the past.
Is this a reasonable quote on the rear diff replacement? Any other recommendations on what options I have hereor should explore?
