Default Decent shop in CT for Moser rear work

My rear has always clunked when turning (never bothered me) now it's making a different noise, like rubber rubbing. It may just be the TQ arm bolts (I checked and they seem ok but I'm no mechanic). I used to bring the car to a NJ sponsor but they aren't around anymore. My brother in law would help with other things but like me has little time now.
Anyway if anybody knows a good shop in CT (New Haven area) that I can bring my car to so they can check it please PM me. I know there's a place in Ellington for rears and such but it would be nice to find a local person.
If I can't I will just suck it up and bring the car back to Slowhawk. He did an EXCELLENT job on my tune and his shop seems top notch but the travel is a minus....the only minus I think.

If it has a tru trac diff in the car its normal, i.e. its broken and acts like a locker. So if you read this what diff is in the car??

Eaton
Tru Trac
Detroit Locker

I would ask spool but that def not what your describing.

I'll check what center is in it tonight. I dont remember as it was installed in 2000. I know its not a locker and I dont think they had the Tru Trac's yet so i thinks its an Eaton. All I can say for sure now is its a Moser 12 Bolt with 33 spline axels.

Like I said it always clunked when you would do a slow turn (With clutch pressed) but its a different worse sound now.

Dammit. Build sheet is lost in a sea of paperwork. It must be the Eaton.

More than likely the posi needs to be rebuilt. Being almost 12 years old.
A decent shop around your area should be able to handle it.
