Rear end shift
OK ive gotten lot of the little things out of the way.
Last 2 that have me concerned is the fuel pump.
(its stalled on cornering lower the tank worse it gets and its hard to start most of the time ... turns over 5-10 seconds before it start)
The other is on all turns... low speed or hard cornering.
I feel what seems to be a definate shift in the rear at times i SWEAR i could hear a hard clunk. similar to a bushing being missing.
I haven't been able to find anything rolling around under it... BUt im going to have 4 new tires and a 4 wheel alignment put on it this weekend. and pretty sure they will let me dig around under the rear to see what i can find.
Ill have them look at it as well. Maybe someone will have a clue.
If you can imagine hitting a small piece of ice as you turn and get just enough slide to feel it...but not enough to make you feel outta control.
I've heard possible wheel bearing could be bad.
The clunk itself reminded me of when i had a bad shock...
Any clues before i take her in ...
Thanks for all the help so far, coming from the F-bodies to the Y ...

Seering,
I'm sure others will chime end---i had the clunk when I got mine back in 2001===I had the rearend oil changed and the posi additive added--it may be that simple--there is an additive that needs to go in regular gear oil--you can get it at the dealer--but maybe others will chime in also.
Welcome to the Forum ---they have been great to me-
