I am premature in my posting, as I have not had a chance to really look anything over, or even search the interwebs for an answer, but I have been crazy busy with work this month.
Twice in the last month, after accelerating on a left turn, I had a BAD rhythmical clunking from the rear end. It felt like the wheel was about to fall off. The clunk pattern or strength did not change when I shifted into neutral.
Each time, the symptom started at the beginning of a bridge, so I had no choice but to let it continue until I got to the other side. Each time, when I slowed and pulled over, it got worse as the brakes were applied and continued until I was at a full stop. After verifying that nothing on the exterior was visibly out of alignment or bent, I started going again and she drove fine.
I have what appears to possibly be differential fluid leaking slowly from the rear left wheel. At first (over a year ago) I thought it was brake fluid but the brake fluid isn't going down and I forgot about it until this.
Short of pulling the axles, is there anyway to verify that it is an axle? I would gladly do it, but I'm so short staffed that I'm stuck working the desk half the time and can't go around looking like a grease monkey
