Rebuilding Rearend this is the pattern we have so far..and that its not under a heavy load... Does this look right?

when you grab the wheel it moves about a half inch at an angle in a downward movement towards the left. I allready had the column taken apart last weekend. I had it all the way down to the housing where the 4 inverted torque screws are. I tightend those up along with any other related screws. I...

My 79 corvette steering column is loose where it tilts. any ideas?

its not under the leaf spring. correct? other wise I would have to remove the spring to see the number because it attaches to the bottom of the rear diff. The number that I found is towards the bottom of the diff on the driver side right next to the camber adjustment .but is on the side but...

ya actually thats how my manual for vettes says that is how you remove it. You also need to remove the camber shafts from the rear end too. but I think I am going to replace the leaf spring too, so ill drop the rear cover too.

Ok, I looked at the rear end today. On the driver side of the car stamped on the housing was the number OH48I. So this means I have 3.55 gears? That explains why I only get 13 miles per gallon...

You said there are only those three codes on the rear end. I thought most of the rear ends stock are 3.08? What is the code for that?

What is all involved in removing the center section? Drop exhaust, Rear tire cover, Leaf spring,? Anything else that I should be awear of. I dont want any surprises or dont want to break anything. Will I need any special tools? Where on the vehicle can I find out what type of rear end it is? Its...

Ok, I checked the half shafts today and they seem not to have any play in them from side to side movement. So im hoping its mainly the bearings making the noise. What is all involved in removing the center section? Drop exhaust, Rear tire cover, Leaf spring,? Anything else that I should be...

So if I drop the half shafts on both sides, I can replace the bearings without dropping the rear end out? Ive had the shafts out last year when I did ujoints. So I know they will come out easy. And arent the rear ends in the 79 vette a 308 gear? O ya and the rear end in the car had 75,000 miles...

When I let off the gas, going faster than 50mph I am getting a loud howling noise coming from the rear end. I know possi's are generally a little louder but this seems quite loud. I have been told it is most likely the pinion bearing and not the gears. Is this true? and how easy would this be to...

Well we checked the spark plugs and it was sparking. Come to find out it was the coil. We spoke with a friend from work who use to work for gm. He said to check the coil. We brought it to work and come to find out it was not grounded. There was a piece to ground it that was missing. I bought...

My 79 Vette now will crank but wont start. It all started when I was coming back from the store. I was at a stop light and the car started stumbling. The next stop light is stalled out and the next (yah a lot of stop lights to get to my house) it stalled twice. I popped it into Netrual and...

It is July 18th, 19th and 20th.

:) Is anybody going to the Right Coast Show in Syracuse, Ny?? There is normally like 5,000 cars there. This is my 3rd year going but my 1st with my own car. I hope to see some other Vettes there.

Actually it kinda was except the alarm but everything has worked out the new steering wheel is on.. Thanks for your input both of you.. Plus my alarm is working properly now..

;shrug Ok My husband was putting my whole drivers door back together and we are not sure why my factory alarm isn't working properly. See as far as I remeber you are suppose to be able to arm the car by turning toward the back of the car. But when we do that it clicks and then goes off with the...
