Ummm help me? :(

Alright I'm a teenage I don't think of consequences before I do things. It's how our brains work. So don't tell me I shouldn't have done this. I now know this.

Anyways long story short, floored it in reverse from a stop. Got some big wheel hop, my friend said my tire bounced up into like my 1/4 panel. Car handles fine and everything and drives normal but now it makes the noise. I know its from the tire/tires because when I go faster the noise gets louder and faster, even if I'm at the same rpm, got pulled over just now figuring this out luckily he believed me that I was troubleshooting my car. Anyways once I got home I was looking and it looks like the rear wheel isn't in line anymore but I'm not sure if it's because the way the fender comes in towards the rear or what. I don't know if it's just an optical allusion or not. So my question, could massive wheel hop cause my rear wheels to become misaligned?

You shouldnt have done this

sounds like the muffler bearings came loose.

Thanks for letting me know...

Could be a few different things.

You need to get the rear up in the air and turn the wheels.....check for any wobbling. Could have bent the axle among other things like a bent rim, U-joint, wheel bearing, etc. Is there anything leaking from under the rear?

No leaks, how do I turn the wheels with the rear jacked up without letting it slide? Or if I block the front wheels is that enough?

Please don't kill yourself

Jack the rear up....USE JACK STANDS to hold it in place and put blocks behind the front tires. Spin the wheels by hand (DO NOT START THE CAR AND DO THIS)... again spin the wheel by hand and see if you can hear or see any visible miss alignment, shake, wobble, etc

OR the smart thing to do is to take it into a shop and have them put it on a lift and look at it.

I believe Cobradoc could help you out...shoot him a PM

You can check your u-joints by putting the car in gear and the ebrake on. Then get under the car and try moving the driveshaft up and down, left and right, and try twisting it also. It should not move. Do this at the front and rear u-joint

Yeah I think I'll leave this to the more experienced people...

Smart move

With checking the u joints should the driveshaft stay perfectly still?

well looks like now you might have an excuse to have your dad buy you some stronger rear end parts.

were you trying to do a burnout in reverse?

This thread is full of fail. Lol

There are so many possibilities as to what you broke I won't even try to mention them. Just take it in and have it looked at.

x2 Epic fails... And future epic fails unless you take it in. Even if you get it up in the air, then what? You had trouble taking off a wheel a month or so back.

Take it in.

Agree with david... what convinced you to floor it in reverse?

Probably the triple dog dare... It use to get me all the time.

Haha.

Well I've gotta wait till Monday then, guess I'll just try not to drive as much and definately won't be going on the highway.

You need a 6 banger auto like Lee....

Supercharged 6 banger 5 spd soon... car is paid off as of next friday...

Nah this is all gonna be me paying for it. Anything that breaks as a result of me being careless I have to pay for.

And the repair tab starts...

900-950 max. Basically the rear end went to shit, bye bye termi dreams. Have to replace gears, rebuild the trac loc, and replace some bearing thing.

where did you take it?

Lofton, my friend works there.

hmm...

does he rape all his friends?

gears...150
new 8.8...200
bearing kit...100
labor...250

thats without a hookup...

Thats what i was thinking!

maybe the upper control arm cam loose or out of adjustment. O don't know if your car has aftermarket parts back there.

I would take it somewhere for a second opinion. friend or not, they saw an 18 year old that knows nothing about his car complaining about a noise, and they started jumping up and down...
