Default The 10 bolt finally died.

I noticed a weird shake in the car when I was taking off from a light. Then I started hearing a weird clunk. I pulled into a Carls Jr. Look under the car for anything lose. First I thought it was exhaust. The CHP's in the restaurant are looking at me weird lol. So I walk in and buy my food and eat. I finished up, hopped back in the car, and started to reverse. It felt like I hit something because the car just suddenly stopped. So I put it in first and rolled forward and it did the same thing. It stopped like I hit something. So I decided to drive off and take it home. I notice the clunk had dissapeared. As im driving home cruising at 35mph, I hear this huge rattle, the whole car starts shaking. I pull over, and that was that. The rear end was dead. I left a nice trail of oil. It smelled like *** too. I towed it home and now its sitting in the garage

Good thing I have warranty


What do you guys suggest I should upgrade? A 9 inch would be awesome, but thats out of the question. Any thoughts?

a 12 bolt would be alot better and you may be able to find one the for sale section. its a hell of alot better and stronger then a 10 bolt.
