hi guys, the rear of my 84 is giving me a bad case of the clicks, clunks and rattles. Primarly from the driver rear side. so im going in for a check up. my brother works at the shop im going to, and im going to have him evaluate my rear half shafts, as I believe they have gone bad. -( how do you check them? )-
when the car is in neutral and I shift back to drive I hear one heck of a loud clunk back there, so im guessing theres alot of slop, wich probly means the needle bearings have bit the dust? and during cornering I hear all kinds of crazy metal crackling noises from back there. its horrible sounding, but its not always there, its kinda random ? like it comes and goes when it wants to, its soo weird.
so here is my question, whats too much to pay for parts? im new at vetts and dont want to get hosed on quality pieces. but also dont want junk.
rear half shafts? $$$
rear axle bearings? $$$
and other related items that generaly need to be replaced when the rear end starts showing wear?
thank you in advance for any imput you guys can throw my way.
