Okay, a newish noise has begun. It actually started a while back but only when making pretty aggressive turns. Tonight, very cold, the noise happened just driving straight.
It is coming from behind me and low, a bit left. It is a light thunk thunk thunk and is the same speed as the yet to be fixed pulsing front brakes. .but is unrelated because it is from behind me. It slows down and speeds up with the speed of the car, unrelated to engine speed. CV joint? Something loose where the axle half connects to the transmission? Maybe?

The rear main drive shaft may be detaching. Your car becomes a push sled at that point.
Mine came off at 70+ and sounded like I threw a rod. Big clunk when they shift. Pull off the rear wheels and look at your hub. Is the cotter pin still in(tact)? |

It is against the rules of my HOA (I'm on the board) to work on vehicles on the property. Would you risk a 25 mile highway drive to a friends where we can work on it? I think he and I have time next saturday to be all clever and work on whatever needs to be done (checking this noise out and replacing the warped and one hole stripped out rotors and brake pads on the front)
I'm not going to consider your answer a guarantee, I just don't want the rear axle to fly out of the car or something and drag the back on the ground, ruining the engine and body (can that happen??)
