Dude. If you'll have them for a while I'll sure take you up on one. I will make it up to you.

PM me an address and I'll get them/it in the mail in the morning...If you have a preferred shipping method, let me know... otherwise, Fed Ex is right down the street...

Let me know if you want both of them or just the one... and which side, short one or long one...and you don't have to make up anything...

There will be no real hurry. I wouldn't be able to get to it till next week anyway. I'll make sure it's that first.

Thank you bro.

Ok, Mike...... While I totally had flashbacks while I was just spinning that wheel

................ I did spin it both ways and tried suddenly stopping and going the other direction and all and it made no weird noises.

If the noise is in fact coming from the diff then it's manifesting way out at the end of the axle and none at the diff.

Disconnect the shaft leading to the noisy hub. Check the hub.

No flashbacks required... the Savini's are gone now...

Ughhhh... I had hoped you might hear something. At least a CV you would...

I'll have to do it Sunday or Monday. I've never done this before. Anything in particular I should look for?

Damn.

Tim had me turn the wheels and see how far before it turned the shaft. I can go about 3/4 of an inch to an inch before the shaft moves.

So I'm guessing it still does it even after you have spun the tires to a new position

Had my son put the car in Drive and Reverse a number of times. The clank is quite loud.

And thoughts???

Warning: A frustrated cuss word at the end.

That upper arm sure does move a lot when you change gears. It shouldn't have that much movement. You might want to check the bolts and bushings. From the sound and the movement I would check the two bolts that sandwich the rear upper bushing first.

Here are some pics.

I'll check it out.

Stock half shaft? I'll bet (once again on something 22") that the teeth toward the end have spun. That or where the teeth go into the hub are shaved.

But the weird thing is the video sounds like gear mesh like something isn't syncing up. But you hear it at the hub so.... weird.

Just guesses
