check your drive shaft joints and carrier. look for play

[nametakennow]

Yep, sounds like the joint between the rear axle and the driveshaft has about bit the dust. Same thing happened to my friend's '65 Mustang... while I was driving it... OUCH!

[atl240kid]

alright, i will look at that, and if the joints are dead i will need to replace right?

[NISTECH]

yep.

[atl240kid]

i have felt around and tried to move the shafts up and down, didnt find there was much play, although i am missing one screw on one of the output shafts going to the drivers side wheel. any other way i should go about checking it or do i need it up on a lift to be sure?

[NISTECH]

you need to replace that missing screw and retorq the rest of them. then recheck it for the vibration.

[atl240kid]

ok, any certain bolt, or match up with the others? also could it just be the limited slip trying to lock up and it not working?

[atl240kid]

ok would have replaced bolts but....rain delay

[NISTECH]

if its the bolt I am thinking of its a special bolt.you will need to match it.

[atl240kid]

what are you thinking of? the four bolts before you get to the diff? then today i was drifting in the rain and as soon as it locked up, no shaking. but if it was a slow drift it shook

[NISTECH]

the bolts that hold the inner CV joint to the diff flange
