Nissan frontier rear differential?
I have a 2000, Nissan, Frontier, XE, 2WD, pickup. I let a friend use my truck while I was deployed overseas; when I got back I noticed a clicking/popping sound in the rear end when I would slowly turn into parking spots. It gradually got worse, starting to whine when I would let off the gas on the highway and decellerate. The other day I was leaving base and as I turned the corner there was a loud pop. I gave it gas and I didn't go anywhere. The drive shaft now spins freely into the rear axle in all gears including reverse. Sometimes it will act like it wants to catch, but alls it will do is shake the truck. Any ideas? Your help would be greatly appreciated!
