This board or local forums. I sold my old stock 3.42 10 bolt for $150 minus backing plates.

Put a jack under the rear end so both tires off the gound

Take tires off axle, both sides

Put lug nuts back on to hold rotors

Start it

Put it in drive or 1st gear

Get out and watch axles for any movement or wobble.

Good axles = 0 wobble sideways or up/down.... literally 0.

Put tires back on and watch what's going on.

If still wondering put front tires on back and watch again.

Dont sit under car with it running and in gear.
