Last fall I noticed that when I took my foot of the accelerator I could
hear a rumbling coming from the back. I talked with a mechanic who is
pretty knowledgeable and he said it could be the u joints. I took the
drive shaft off last night and he looked at the u joints this morning and
said they were fine. I don't notice the noise as much in the warmer
weather. He thought maybe exhaust. He said if the rear end was going
that it would be more of a high-pitched sound. Any ideas on this one.
My wife and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary last night. I
gave her a nice present and she had a nice card for me. She wants to
know what I want. Does a major rear suspension overhaul sound
reasonable? I was planning to order the parts and I remembered it was
our anniversary. I think I'm going to give it a shot.
