Rearend noise??

[That50]

THought it was my gear/ pinion, but it's not whining. I took it all out, and back in it went. All the bearings are good, and alligned. SOunds like a thumping noise? Maybe the U joints on the d/s, or???

more info please. A thumping noise? is it constant? Does it "thump" at a faster rate during hard acceleration or light acceleration? does it matter if your acceleration or coasting? Does it go away at any certain point? or is it affected only by your speed??
Did you check the wear pattern and back lash when you had it apart???

It had a normal werar on it. Nothing out of the orrdinary. It's occasional. Not slower/faster at speed. I think it's the U-joints. I'm tight on cash, so I don't want to spend the money on them if it isn't in fact them.

Tranny Mount
U-joints
Motor Mounts

That is where I would look...

Checking the U-joints takes 30 seconds each. Checking mounts are trickier, but can be done with leverage-assistance.

Good luck.

Shake the car and listen also, could be tail pipes hitting the tank or something stupid like that.
