New to this section .... Heard a loud bang and also hear grinding sound when in gear
Hi all
I am new to this section of TGO so please bear with me...i have noticed a grinding sound coming from the rear of the vehicle when the car is in gear ..very noticeable from the passenger seats in back ..
Then last summer I heard a loud BANG coming from the car while driving down a road not doing more than 30 mph.
At first I thought somebody threw a rock at my car, cause it felt like something hit the car.
I got out of the car and inspected for damage....NOTHING. Drove off and the car responded with no issues ..... Other than the old grinding sound...
Car shifts well, so I think the tranny is ok...
As far as I know I have a stock 1984 trans am with the WY-6 no posi option.
What can this issue be?

Grinding probably = axles & bearings

So should I look into a possible replacement of:
1) pinion bearing?
2) driveshaft ?
3) whatever else ....
