Rumbling rear noise 1800 1964

posted by  someone claiming to be Gene on  Sat Aug 30 06:38 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Signalius et al:
This morning was spent under the car checking some of those things (again).
The driveshaft was checked in v-blocks before it was installed, so, no it is not bent. I also verified the alignment of front and rear sections at the spline. The center support bearing is a new one and looks to be riding in it's mount correctly after 500 miles of use.
I can't say when the noise began. While I've been driving it there have been much louder things happening that would have masked this - like no muffler, no windows, etc.

But I followed advice recieved here and lifted a wheel to spin it by hand.
What I hear is hard for me to interpret, since all the innards of the differential, the drive shaft and transmission output shaft are all involved. It's certainly not smooth & silent like a front wheel would be, instead doing a muffled thump-thump-thump. Same on both sides.

Oh please don't tell me it's looking like wheel bearings.
Gene
