Popping in rear on acceleration in 1st or Reverse 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Thu Apr 14 18:17 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The "dog bones" he mentioned are most likely the torque rods that go from the top of the axle to the body to keep the axle from twisting. There are torque rods on top and lower control arms on the bottom. Any of these bushings may be shot. Most of these bushings are visible, so you can see if they are chewed up. The lower control arm rear bushings (under the axle) are hard to see without dropping the control arm. Those are the ones that fail most often. Look them over and search this archive for suggestions and tips on the tools you need. There is a discussion on rear end bushings every week or two.
