I found the problem today why i had a noise in right rear axle.
bought car from an seller in michigan.
said it had just been painted and drove great on the road.
had it shipped and picked car up 15 miles from the house.
when i got up to 30 miles an hr and heard a noise in right rear end drum or axle.
pulled drum off and it had a 3 inch crack in drum, thought that was the trouble, but noise was still there, thought axle bearing so i pulled axle today and you wont beleave what i found.
he told me he was state certified with michigan in collesion repair and body shop.
when i pulled axle i found he had tried to use a grinder to remove bearing cutting all the way through couldnt get it off i guess so he put it back togeather like that.
i replaced axle with bearing and that took care of it.
i havnt talk to him since i bought it, figured it would have issues but not this.
i have sent a few pics for you to see his shabby work.
think i will give him a chance to make it right or i am going to turn it over to the michigan insurance comm. and better buissenes bureo.
What do you guys think, do i suck it up or do i confront him.
i am preaty new to the forum but i have learned so much from you guys and your post.
any advise would be greatly appreciated.
well since i got the photoes of my 66 parts carand cant figure out how to delete them i would ask if this is a 318 poly motor.
Thanks marblemike
