REAREND REBUILD POSSIBLE - RECOMMENDATIONS

Got an 88 GTA; LB9; Look at slow speeds of 0 to 5 mph I'm hearing a clunking noise from the rear of the car. However, once I'm up to speed, the noise disappears. It's my opinion that maybe it's time to rebuild my rearend. Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions on what to do. Or, has anyone else experienced this? If so, what was your solution?


Thanks,

Jeff

Unless you have some experience or know someone who does I would bring it to a shop

I just rebuilt a 9-bolt for the first time. It's not difficult but time consuming and involved a lot of reading before doing.
