i need help a few days ago i blew a tire, and it caused me to pop a curb. it took me a day to get the tire replaced, and i thought my alignment might be off, or soemthing to do with the suspension (which im doing little by little right now) since my headers and oil pan weren;t damaged and as low as they are they would be the first things to go. tonight i hopped in it to take it out and noticed a loud clanking sound whenever i was in a gear without giving it gas or coasting in neutral. it was dark so i couldn't really get under it to check it out but its bothering the hell outta me... im thinking possibly the u-joint, tranny mount or my 12 bolt moser... i left it at my buddy's house cuz i didnt feel right driving it.... does anyone have any kind of experience or thoughts on this?

so i finally got to get the car out of the garage... went away for a while for an army school, but i pulled the drive shaft and found that the pinion nut was loose so i tightened is down the factory specs and brought i back home. the ride home was fine, but it definatly loosened itself up a little bit cuz i could hear the reared start to squeal a little bit as i pulled in.. im thinking i need to replace the pinion bearings, crush sleeve, pinion seal, and pinion bolt... anyone have any suggestions as to where to buy these and how the installation will go? It was prolly one of the best feelings ever to be behid the wheel again.
