That being said, age and mileage can be a factor, but I was in highschool (graduated '99) when the fourth gens were new and I heard about rear end problems then.
...I say "heard about" because I was still walking to school. With zero ladies. I was pretty metal.

in '99, 4th gens were already 6 years old lol. but I know what you're saying. but with those cars you were hearing about, how many were running slicks? power adders etc? the 10 bolt was a POS from the start. it was made to deal with the power the car made, but once you start dead hooking, they dont last.

Hey, they were the weak links in the chain, but again, it's not GMs job to make the car stand up to drag racing and certainly not doing donuts.. lol
It's the same reason they didn't come painted (and thus rusted).. because it saved GM a few bucks and let them give you Corvette performance at Camaro prices.
