Clunk and Thud i haven't done a donut since a few weeks after i bought my car. i haven't done a burnout in a few months either. its too cold out to beat on it because I can't hook. I drove it to help a friend with her car and it was fine. Came home. went to go pick up my gf, and it felt like my rear end was banging against the floor boards on low speed turns and skipping like a locker would. When i dropped her off and came home it was getting worse. if i slow rolled it off of a stop sign, it felt like the rear end was gonna fall out something was banging the floor that hard. I drove it to my mechanic this morning for a diagnosis. What do you guys think it is? One of my fellow f-body buddy's thinks its the posi. Any other input? About how much am I looking to spend here? If thats the case, is there anything else I should replace too?

an Eaton posi, AAM gears, a master install kit with all the bearings and you might as well go with Moser axles. MOST important get the right person to set all of this up. Have fun!
