Hey everyone, I bought a ford explorer rear end to swap into my ranger; however it has some odd chipping in some of the teeth of spider gears as well as on the outer edges of them. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the spider gears are still useable or if I should replace them? I'm asking because I'm likely going to be rebuilding it & replacing the clutches but it will get expensive quick so I'm trying to see what I should do.
Here's a bunch of pics of both sides of the carrier.
I'm just not familiar with gear wear and what it means. The rear end is gonna be going into my daily driver so I need to make sure it's sound. Thanks for your help in advance!
