Default Anyone else have problems with the rear dif?

Just curious if its a common problem..

I never drag race my car or anything, autocross here and there but never really dropping the clutch or anything..

Its been making a grinding noise for a while finally it blew out on me..

Anyone?

This seems to be more common than one would think. Have you had your differential fluid changed lately?

Can you remember when you first heard this grinding noise (how many miles before) ?
