This one is definitely new but i am curious as to whether i am being entirely to **** or I actually have a problem. Got my rear done at the beginning of the summer (new diff, gears axles, 5 lug, extended stud, etc.). Now with that in mind my friend was rocking my car back and forth because he didnt believe how stiff the suspension was, when i noticed a clanking noise coming from somewhere. Turns out it sounds like it is coming from the drums. Is this a problem or what? I can shine some more light on exactly where tomorrow when i have more light shining, but for now any suggestions.

 

probably just a tiny bit of play in the axles

 

could be the shoes inside the drum pivoting back and forth, make sure wheels are torqued too

 

its the axles moving around.. nothing to be afraid of how do you think you get out the axles you have to push on them and they move in so u can pull the c clips. So all it is the axles being pushed in and out.

 

^^^^^^^maybe so but he is rocking the car back and forth not side to side, and remember once the pinion pin is in place axles shoudn't be able to be pushed inward, a minimal amount of end play should exist, very minimal

 

oo hes rocking it back and forth..not side to side gotcha. its to early for me man..

 

No everyone is right i am rocking it side to side, so this is nothing to worry about then?

 

tighten your lugs bud

i bet you at least one is only finger tight, if not more.

 

if they are im not going to be so happy with mustang magic

 

whats mustang magic?
