Rear diff support
I have a slight clunking noise in my rear when shifting from first to second. Also a vibration above 75. The whole rear of the car has been rebuilt. When I took the tires off to look around the only thing I noticed was the crossmember that holds the rear pumpkin in the car has a 1/4 inch gap to the frame. I don't remember it being there, but I never looking at it closely before. Could the rubber bushings have went bad?

If just rebuilt I would check the torque of the various bolts to be sure they didn't loosen up,particularly the front snubber bushing/bolt. I doubt the crossmember bushing is bad but the mounting bolts could be loose.
Good luck and let us know what you find.

Re: Rear diff support (GaryS)
I'll have to keep looking into it becaused the front bushing was replaced during the rebuild with a poly bushing like all the rest. I checked the torque of most of the bolts and didn't find any loose ones..
