The front plug had a healthy coating but not what I would call a blob like the rear had.
Is that just the breaking in of the diff? or could there be a materials issue with some of the metal in there?
I guess time will tell. And yes, I'm getting a little tired of this topic myself. So, we'll just have to revisit it in 10K miles.
