hello i just install a rear and matrix driveshaft i think i have a problem when i drive the car i hear a whine and then i get a hopping feeling from the rear and if i let the car coast then press the gas i hear a clunk noise. please hlep
 
Who built the rear? Sounds like it could be a bad pinion bearing. I had that happen in my '87 (the clunk).
 
could it be that the axel bolt is to tight or i broke one of the spindle bolt and just use some bolt i found at home depot
 
today as i was driving home the car is fast as hell chirp second like a bat outta hell but i still get that clunk . i really hear it when i put the car in reverse any ideas any one
 
Check for a bad motor mount

and/or...

bad rear differential bushing(s)
 
when i did the rear change i put in a new driveshaft so i'm pretty sure it's not the u joints
 
today when i got home from work the rear passenger rim was super hot could it be that the axel bolt is too tight. it was double the heat then the other side
 
i have change that caliper multpy times for getting stuck on me i wonder if that is the cause of all the problems. i had to push the pistion back in to get it on the rotor when i rotated the piston brake fluid started to leak out of it . and when i was driving it home the abs light came on and t/c off light came on
 
i brought it at auto zone . so first thing in the morning i'm going to check it , if it is that then i'm taking it back to auto zone because it has a warranty.
 
ok so today i jack up the car and check under the rear for any loose bolts their where all tight checked the d/s bolts they where tight check the spindle bolts they where tight when i went to check the axel bolt it some how was only like hand tight so i retighted it. i don't know how this came loose. the calpier was working fine not stuck or sticking. i took the car for a ride it felt much better but still has a whine to it at low speeds, and also still get a clunk when i put it into reverse and i also get the clunk on right turns for some reason. it also some time clunk on deaccelaration. i stumped on trying to figure it out i'm problebly end up taking the rear out and putting the factory one back in
 
What did you tighten the 36MM wheel bearing nuts to? factory calls for 250 LBft, and should be followe right on, thats what sets your bearing crush. too loose, and the bearing will eat it's self apart. too tight, and youll sieze it up.



How old are the cv shafts?
 
i think their are factory so they got to be 9 years old and my torqe wench only goes to 150 where do you get something to go to 240
 
Snap-on, MAC, Matco...... they all have 1/2" units that go that high, but you could prolly go with a cheaper 3/4" unit and save some money.
