Don't really know where to put this, but here it goes, I noticed when my car is at speed ( say 55mph and above) i get this droning sound, sounds like a "WUMPH WUMPH WUMPH WUMPH" from the rear of the car. I know it needs tires, could this be the issue? I was thinking driveshaft out of balance perhaps? |

Fix the tire problem First. Then see(hear) if there is still a problem. Frank |

Maybe swapping all wheels front to rear, see if the sound follows? Pat |

If the vehicle has a 7 1/4 rear axle, it is likely that the axle bearing(s) need replacement. DD |

Tires were of no help, but how would I find out if I have the 71/4 axle? |

Check out this picture http://www.moparmailinglist.com/content ... ed/381.jpg You most likely have a 7 1/4. If it looks confusing under the car, just count out the bolts on the rear cover. A 7 1/4 should have 9. You'll need to identify which side the noise is coming from and pull that axle. Take it down to a machine shop to have a new bearing pressed on. Then go get yourself a seal from an auto parts store. Remove the old seal, install the new seal and then put the axle back in and connect everything back up. |

Been through this for the last two years! It's the driveline... If you have a ball and trunion set up it is that for sure. If not just have it balanced($30) and change the trani mout while you're at it. http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38191 ,Cliff |
