Rear differential housing question ?
I just replaced th 3rd member in the rear differential in my '89 4x4 pickup. Inside the housing there is some type of metal baffle looking piece, it slided back into the axle tubes and locks on tabs on the top and bottom. The one on the drivers side had came loose and I got it to snap back into place....what exactly is this piece ?
Thanks ,

the baffle keeps the gear oil, more or less, in the middle of the housing . . . kinda the same way oil pan baffles work, it tries to keep the oil where it needs to be
