I would rather take a chance with a low mileage OE diff than risk going through what I saw when a shop here sent a diff to be rebuilt and it came back with a bad whine, they must not have got the torque right. I heard a lot about using plastigauge and some careful reassy that must have not been done properly
Thats a job for an expert, and out here I don't know any good shops that do that sort of work.
