To Jesse

[Paul Higg]

Jesse,

I drove 200 miles last night all around Atlanta to calm down.

The noise is getting louder.

It sounds like there is a rock inside either the short drive shaft on the left or the long one. It sounds EXACTLY like a rock rattling around inside a coffee can.

I get it when I stop short at 2-3 MPH and sometimes when I start moving again. I had the u-joints replaced a while back but they are the ones with lube fittings on them. I have not lubed them since they were replaced but I am not sure this could be causing it. Any ideas?

Thanks Jesse.

Paul

Lube them,All of them and while your there make sure 1 of the spring hangers on the exhaust isn't loose or broken!! They will "ting a ling" at lower speeds sometimes!!
Sorry Paul,I've been really,Really busy!! My help is MIA (He's worked 4 hr in 3 weeks!) and I've been trying to do the extra things MDKyleZ would like done to his car since it fixed as far as the lightning strike!!(Dealing with the Insurance Co,New Weatherstrips,Headliner,New Window Guides,Paint Work and some minor Mechanical things,Plus he would Like a Bumper to Bumper Detail!!) Things are getting down to the wire here,the adjuster was here for 4 1/2 hours Thursday evening going over everything I've done on the car!!:L
It's been hectic as hell!!

I understand Jesse. I will do as you suggested. From the photos I have seen your work speaks for itself, amazing. I think his car will be a hell of a lot better when it leaves your shop than when it went in, even before the strike.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.
