Still...

I still cant find my Problem That Ive been posting about these past 2 days. Well today I kinda figured it was something with my back end. Today as i was making a U-Turn on my street, I had the wheels turned all the way left, and as i was turning it felt really bumpy as if i had a flat tire or somthing. Yesterday it felt as if metal was touching. Can somone lighten me up on this subject?

If it felt like it was coming from the back end, I'd first check all your bushings to make sure they are intact, then if they are fine, check the springs/shocks, and finally, the rear end. If your rear end is going out, it can make noise pretty badly...Good luck!

This Noise seems to me comin from my back end not really the front end. What is in the back end or suspension that can trip after it gets hot? Cuz the noise doesnt come when im just doing short city driving, only freeway driving.

Sound like the posi unit is fried, like the guy stated in your other post.

I could see those gears and with a rear end installation kit and a posi, you'd be styling.

BTW, you will need to get a posi with 26 splines instead of 28 since that is probably what your axels are.

yea just pick up a new differential
look at the above posts for your choices
also, not sure which year or gears your z28 is...so that would be the deciding factor on splines, and what series carrier you need (26 or 28 splines, and 2 or 3 series carrier)
