where exactly are the control arms for the rear i dont know much about that kind of stuff, and how do i tell if theyre bad?

 

First you say this...



Then you say this.

Why are you even asking if you dont want to hear the opinions of others, just to turn around and say you know nothing?

 

sounds like to me that if you're that light on the gas, then the torque loading is not high enough to keep all the slack out of the gears in the tranny and the rear and they are wobbling and backlashing due to lack of a constant load. since it doesn't do it when you accelerate with some gas pedal, that's what it sounds like to me. just for grins I would however check the tightness of all the bolts on the rear U-joints and the rear suspension just to make sure something is not loose and take a look at the bushings in the control arms and sway bar too to see if they are badly worn too. bad bushings will let things go moving more than they were designed to do and even hit metal to metal making a racket too.

 

JD, i said i never wouldve put the control arms in the mix as the cause of the problem b/c i dont know anything about it. When i went online to try and find something about where it was i couldnt so i posted again to ask for help. I wasnt trying to disrespect your opinion in any way, sorry if it came out that way. Thanks again for your help.

 

No problem and Roundy pretty much explained why I said the gears seem to be going bad.
