Put it together correctly and run it. if it makes noise, then you'll have to pull the diff out and change bearings. Probably not.
Man you guys are good. I knew someone would know what it was.
I see the sping in this pic once I knew what to search for.

I replaced the seal and everything seems fine, no leak, no noise, or play.

Thanks Again
