- Hi all, I'm having yet more difficulties with my little lady. At 50-70 mph, the rear end makes the whole car shake really violently. Before this, the rear end made a clunk each time I went from rever

- What you are describing sounds more like a driveshaft than a rear end. Worn out diffs' tend to howl, not shake. Carefully check the u-joints NOW. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Visual inspecti

- Guys, you hit it right on the head. I had talked to a driveshaft shop when the problem arose. He told me it was the ring and pinion, since I told him about the slop/clunk from reverse to first. Based

- A buddy and I replaced both U-joints on our car. Using a crappy vise and some very basic hand tools, we were able to reinstall nice new U-joints. Only cost me $15 for the joints and $15 for a set of
