I cant seem to locate the cause of the problem, but I have this knocking noise coming from the rear wheels(i think). I thought it was the upper control arms aluminum bushings, but yesterday I noticed it seems to come from inside the rear wheels. I can rock the car side to side and hear/feel it inside the hub area. I''m about to remove the drag shocks and go with a more comfy strut/shock/spring combo, so I'd like to replace whatevers necessary to fix this side to side slop, while im in there. Is it the lack of rubber/poly bushings since I have aftermarket control arms? Is it the bearings?

All I know is the ride sucks and its gotta go, thanks.

that's called axle end play and as the clutch pack wears down in the rear it gets worse also c-clips need to be checked for wear a trac -loc rebuild may be in store for you soon

that noise is normal

its the axle coming in and out and the sound is the drum bottoming out

Thanks. Can you point me in the direction where I can find more info on the trac-loc rebuild?

Is there a rebuild kit I can buy? The previous owner said the rear end was "fresh".

ask him what he meant by fresh?? a cluch pack kit can be purchased at summit racing and as long as side and spider gears and thrust washers are fine that's all you'll need to replace
