Default Major 10 bolt Issues please help!!

So lately i've been noticing like some sort up a shake from 50-70mph from the rear end. It is really hard to describe but i know something is up because i can feel the rattling in my legs and can see the passenger seat shake. I haven't been hard on the car at all recently due to the shake so i replaced my u joints and had the driveshaft rebalanced but that didn't fix the problem at all. So today i said screw it and went WOT at 25ish in first and the left rear tire had like major wheel hop/ spin issues and right before it shifted it clunked SO f****in hard i thought it blew up lol. Like someone hit the bottom of the bar with a sledge hammer. So any ideas it has 74k on it??? Also the POS has so much seepage you cant even see anything metal near it.

Thanks

Well...it's probably busted or damaged somehow. You should fix that leakage anyways, so while you're taking the cover off inspect the gears to see if they've cracked.

I'm just waiting for the day my 10 bolt takes a dirt nap

sounds like your posi just said good bye....I have replaced mine a couple times. You will know if its your posi if it is popping when turning especially. Probably broke a tooth or two . Take the cover off and inspect it
