I have a few old manuals that I'll thumb through but this is not something that is easily found for me.

I would contact the dealer parts dept. with the vin and ask for a diagram.

You might be best to buy the unit rebuilt if it is indeed an axle problem.

Have you checked the fluid level and inspected for any metal shaving?

i am already running with this with a special moulickot fluid to help for the noise.
the problem is that i live in Israel and here you can't get any help from the local UMI dealer as they will only help if this is a new car for my car they don't have any parts so i order all the parts from the US for the rockauto.com site
this is way i need your help last time i have ask one of you want to you local dealer and ask him so that you can give me an answer as i am ready to donate more money to you if you can help me with this , also i have one more open question that i still didn't get any answer for so it will be nice if you can look in to that also
