Re: Rearend clunk/rattle - driveshaft? 200 93

Howdy,

I thought I had rear end problems in my 78. Instead I found that it needed the center support bearing. This is common.

I put my car up on jack stands, blocked the wheels, stared it up, put it in gear, and then crawled under(be very careful) with my stethoscope(2ft long hose). I scanned, with my scope from back to front. When I got to the support bearing, there was no longer any doubt about where the noise was coming from.

I bought the bearing, doughnut, and u-joints. I then marched the whole mess over to my local machine shop.

ps. If you go under the car with it running and in gear MAKE SURE THAT IT IS PROPERLY SUPPORTED, AND BLOCK THE WHEELS! BE VERY CAREFUL!
