Default 2001 Camaro Rear Problem/Noise

Hi guys,

I'm hoping someone else has had this problem in the past and can give me some insight. On my way to work yesterday I heard a lot of noise coming from the rear of my car. The noise was really similar to driving a car with rear tire that had about 20lbs of air in it. Naturally, I checked the tires and they were fine. However, just before I got home I heard a small crack. That was followed by some light scratch noise. While turning down my road I began to get a loud thump every time the tire rotates. I took it around the block earlier and sure enough the thumping was there as soon as I hit about 5mph I jacked it up to see if I could get any play in the wheels when pressing them but I didn't get anything. Nothing is hanging from the rear and the car doesn't pull to either side. Anyone have an idea?

Sounds like the rear end is ready to go. Jack it up put it in gear, see if you can tell where the sound is coming from.
