hey, i just did gears and now whenever im off the gas and coasting i can hear something that sounds like the axel spinning, like a bad bearing in the rearend or something. but it doesnt do it when im on the gas. i asked the guy that did my gears and he said maybe the axel bearings? and whenever i go over bumps i have a clunking noise. we had the car on the lift and noticed that the front sway bar bushing and one of the steering tie arms is a little loose, could that be some of the clunking?
thanks

How many miles ago were they put in? I had a clunking problem from my rear end after driving it about 60 miles after getting the gears put it...my installer didn't put all the grease around the new gears I was speechless considering he had done 100's of installs. Needless to say it was fixed for free.

for the noise, did you add the gm posi additive when you changed the fluid?

for the clunking, check your u joints

no, not yet, i have some additive and was just going to put it in when i changed the fluid the second time. would that fix the spinning noise you think?

if by spinning noise you mean a "whining" sound, its possible it can be fixed. what weight gear oil did you use?
