yea i dont think i've heard of something like this[&:] ok so, the part in the middle of the axle is the differential. put the car on the stands with the wheels and drums off and put ur hand on the diff cover and find out if you can feel anything

RE: Hit pot hole.... CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK
what should i be feeling for? just a nock or something?
EDIT: I guess what i really need to ask is: If there is something wrong with the rear end, or axles, would I be able to do a 3000rpm launch with nothing breaking?

if there's something clunking there's obviously something not right. launch at 3k...? i wouldn't since you dont kno whats wrong with it yet. as far as feeling, just feel for a clunk or a knock or something. like i said before, i've never heard of something exactly like this that i can recall so just feel for something and figure out how harsh it is or where its coming from or something. thats where i would start and work from there

ok, well I already did afew 3000rpm launches yesterday out of frustration, and nothing broke so thats why i'm asking. I will check in some more of those areas. I kinda have a feeling that it's a bent rim now.

well the thing is, when the rim was off and i had my head right next to the axle, i could barley hear a clunk, which i think is the same clunk that I hear when i'm in the car, but now that I think of it, it couldn't be the same clunk because I wouldn't be able to hear it when i'm in the car, unless the volume of the clunk is amplified by pressure, weight of the car.
