:dunno: About a month ago my drive line broke off and screwed up my rear yoke. I took my baby down to a highly recommended shop to have it worked on because I didnt't have a place to do the work myself (I didnt't feel comfortable doing neither). After replacing the drive line and yoke ($390.00 later) everything seemed to be running awesome. I could tell a big difference in the performance area with the reaction time from getting on the gas. About two days ago I hear this metal grinding sound when I made a left hand turn. At first I thought it was some crap sliding around in the trunk, so I removed everything out of the trunk. I believe I heard the same sound when making a right hand turn, but I'm not 110% positive on that.
Today (making a left hand turn) the sound was present and this time even louder! :VHOT:Needless to say I was pissed off because I don't know what the hell is going on. I parked my car at my work and got out to look at my rear end. I put my foot against the sidewall of the rear tire and began pushing it! The harder I began to push the tire I started to hear this metal-to-metal slamming sound. I was able to produce the same sound on both side of the car. I had a friend look underneath the car when I did it again for a second time..., he said the axle was slamming against the rear brake drum.
Here are the questions that I have and any additional info is greatly appreciated!
1. What is causing this to happen?
2. Is my rear end totally shot? Or is it a minor fix?
3. Should I be worried about driving the vehicle around for the next couple of days?
4. Will my axle disassemble when I'm making a turn; causing massive damage to the car?
I'm not the most mechanically inclined individual in the world but when I don't something I ask everyone. This helps me understand and grow with knowledge.
:bawl: Okay all you mechanical wizards out there..., I really, really, really, need help on this crappy situation!!!!:bawl:
Thank you to everyone for your help in advance!!!
