Lyle came over today to help work on my exhaust and diagnose a clunk I have in the rear end. I've had this problem with my driveline for years and could never figure out where the intermittent clunk was coming from. It got worse a couple days ago so I asked him to take a look at it. He discovered a crack in the rear differential bracket [see picture]. From the rust, it's obvious that this crack has been there quite some time but it finally broke through and got big enough to see the crack easily.
Thank goodness! This clunk and accompanying vibration has been driving me nuts for a long time. I am ecstatic to finally discover what the problem is. Car will be towed to Sutton Monday morning to get a new bracket and hopefully solve my problems once and for all. Yay for me. Thanks Lyle!!! You are the man. :biggthump
