| Description of the problem | 2007 nissan titan rear differential failed. I noticed a thunk when coming to a stop or starting up from a stop. Upon deceleration there would be a thunk thunk thunk. Tempo would increase or decrease in relation to speed. I turned a corner, felt and heard a very significant clunk/bang, felt like i rolled over a boulder, as i proceeded for another 50 yds, the thunk was hard enough to feel through the vehicle and loud enough to hear from outside the vehicle as evidenced by the stares i got as i came to a stop. Towed it to sheehy nissan in manassas, va, they confirmed it was the rear diff and replaced it under warranty. Mileage was 42,828. |
