Hi again everyone.
Having one of those days. Thought I'd ask on here before I got too far into my teardown of my rear axle.
Just got my 89's interior put back together, thought I was done. Took it on a short road trip and when driving, we can hear a noticably loud howl from the rearend. We swapped tires and it was still there. It really sounds like it is coming from the center, but hard to tell, it is just a loud 'whop, whop, whop, ect.
Guy before me bought this car in 97 with 67K on it and he said he had to replace the rear axles, they were 'bent', he was not sure why. That was the only thing he did to the car while he had it other than routine maint.
We lifted up the car last night. There is some play in the pass. rear side. We can hear a noticable grown in the pass. rear side where the bearing is just inside the axle.
We are going to tear it apart today and replace the bearings on both sided.
Question I have, is there something else I should be looking for. The car has 122K on it. Just seems like a lot of rear end repair for a car with 122K on it.
Has anyone else had any issues like this before???? Is there something I should be looking for?
I appreciate any and all thoughts.
Thanks again
