Rear end noise or is it?? Hello all I need some help. First off little back ground.
1998 auto transmission,
stock ls1, stock 10 bolt.
I got the car from my cousin and he had the rear pinion go out and tear up the diff and pinion. The car had a real bad noise as could be expected. I had a shop completely rebuild the rear including diff, bearings new pinion and ring gear. still have stock axles.. Drove the car about 200 miles with no problem. While out driving I stopped and got on it pretty good. all the sudden loud noise from the center/rear of the car, Also feel a little slop when letting off the gas. I again took the car to a different shop they had the car about two weeks. Told me the pinion bearing was bad. I had a feeling it was the transmission. Again I paid to have the rear bearings changed. To my surprise same noise still and mechanic has no idea. I had the transmission replaced thinking this would cure the problem and no dice... same noise and a different mechanic says rear end wasn't set up right.. UGH!!! now at the expense of $2500.00 I still have a broke car. Any ideas of what I could check?? How to tell if in fact it is the rear end or something else.. Thanks for any help...

No. A 4 channel rear(TC & ABS) has a reluctor ring on each axle at the hub end. A 3 channel rear(ABS only) has a reluctor ring on the ring gear carrier. A 4 channel rear has a sensor at each brake backing plate. A 3 channel rear has a sensor at the top of the rearend housing. That 4 channel rear end would not have a hole at top for the sensor.
The axle swap is for converting a 3 channel rear to 4 channel.
