Default '99 3.55 L/S rear end rebuild kit?

Anyone know where I might find a rebuild kit for the rear? My limited slipness seems to be not so limited anymore, inside tire easily breaks loose on turns and such. So, just wondering if I can replace the little friction clutches or should I go a more expensive route. Any ideas?

Ok...so I changed the fluid in the rear this weekend. Guess what, found chunks of what probably used to be friction clutch stuck to the magnet. Dealer said I have to buy a whole carrier, anyone run across a rebuild kit? Pretty sure these are Dana units, all the old Danas had rebuild kits fer 'em. I'll post pics of the chunks later if anyone is interested.

It's a Chrysler 9.25 rear end, is it not?

Call up Randy's www.ringpinion.com - they'll set you straight.

Sweet action! Called 'em up, they've got the friction clutches in stock, should be all I have to replace. Thanks a lot for the tip horatio!

Good deal. Dealership should be last resort only. [8D]
