Hi, guys. I've got a prob. with my car, and I'm about to buy a rear end replacement, and just want some opinions to confirm it's the rear and not a u-joint, trans. mount, or other problem.
1996 Formula: Automatic Tranny
The Problem: When decelerating (coming up to a red light, for example)...right before the car comes to a stop I hear what sounds like a clunk. Sometimes it's louder, sometimes softer. It's not real nasty, but it's there. This same sound occurs sometimes when I first hit the gas at low speeds from idle as well. NO noise from a complete stop, though. NO noise at wot, either.
Rear end problem? My friend @ GM says it's normal and not to worry, but it's really annoying me. I'm going to sell my car soon, and having to tell people there's a rear end noise is not going to help that situation.
