ok driving my bird down the street and a
thump thump thump thump
starts happening out of nowhere.
It (the thump) coincides with each single rotation of the wheel(sounds like passenger rear).
Rules out driveshaft.
No flat tire.
Half shafts LOOK ok.
Bushing?
I need help!:(
ANybody else get this bug?

if it helps at all

if it helps, the same thing hapened in my old el camino when i broke the rear axle from doing a brakestand
 
how close you are.....

just jacked it up, and the passenger rear wheel wiggles in the knuckle assy like it is a TILT STEERING WHEEL!:eek: :eek: :eek:
So i guess im off to the u pull it.
does anybody know whats involved in taking a rear knuckle off our cars?
Does the halfshaft have to be replaced too, or can i detach it and put it in the replacement knuckle?
Will I need Special tools to do that other than a BF Breaker bar and socket?
Thanks!
paul:(
