Well, I found out some very bad news today. The axle seal on the driver side appears to have sprung a leak. I'm not sure what kind of damage has been done, but I assume it's severe. When you have the car jacked up and rotate the driveshaft slightly there is a distinct thump inside the rear end. The guy that looked at the car swears up and down the noise is coming from inside the driveshaft and said he thinks the center piece in the driveshaft broke loose and is flopping around. But, he held the driveshaft from moving while I rocked the wheel back and forth and it made the same noise. There is about an inch of slop in the rear end which I know cannot be a good sign. What sucks is I just bought these gears with a rebuild kit, shim kit, axle seal, etc
Anyone remember the post about "I'm done - car for sale". It's about to be reborn.
