Hi everyone,
So it has been a long time since I have been on these forums. Car has been great until the last two days. I know my lower rear control arms need to be replaced (bushings are shot so its time)...but a new problem as developed. I have noticed an audible clunk coming from the rear as I accelerate and decelerate...just when I start and when I almost come to a stop...I have not put the car in the air yet to diagnose (going to drop off at mechanic tomorrow for him to have a look), but I have two theories about this:
1. Connector between the two-piece driveshaft has gone bad and driveshaft needs to be replaced
2. Differential mounting bolt has snapped and differential is knocking against subframe (if this is the case...I think I am screwed because I don't have a place to make the repair myself (apartment living) and I am afraid the repairs will be too costly for me to afford (especially if damage has been done to other components.
Thoughts on this??? Again has only developed in the past two days. Car is coming up on 111,000 miles.
