I assume these still use a crush washer; making it tough to over tighten - on the initial install, in a factory setting. I presume OE diff's aren't set up by hand are they?Id bet its pretty spot on for a pinion bearing to tight.
A tight pinion bearing, that was tight enough to make "a lot of metal" would certainly have a lot of play in it at this point wouldn't it (meaning the bearing is starting to come apart)? If the pinion bearing was coming apart wouldn't there be other noises coming from the front diff due to the pinon flopping around?
