Differential shot but electrics fixed

Hello All,

Well I got the C fuse issue fixed. I started hearing one of the relays in the back of the fuse box clicking after the car was off. After diagnosing and swapping in a known good convenience control module the relay stopped clicking and the fuse stopped blowing. I am going to replace the convenience module with the 202 superceeded part.

Bad news is we noticed a great deal of play in the rear differential. Way more than normal. Drained the gear oil and fished a magnet around and found lots of shrapnel. Thankfully we found this before something bad happened on the road.

Anybody have a good resource for used diffs, or reuilders (Bay area CA)? The benz rebuilt unit is about 1300 bucks at cost. I am trying some local junkyards but so far no luck. I did see a used one via adsit but not sure if it is the right one yet.

Part# is 124-350-39-74 if it is a benz rebuilt I think it would also have an 80 or 88 following that

Thanks!
