After a few hours of driving home wondering what exactly was wrong in the rear end (it wasn't raining most of the way, but the road was wet and I wasn't about to crawl under and check it out), and a couple days of wrenching I've compiled my list of parts that need replaced post NAC Fest:
Rear driveshaft (I don't remember bending it on anything, but the scrapes don't lie)
2 exhaust clamps to put the tailpipe back on...........again
1 front wheel bearing, BIG thanks to Kevin, the spare got me home in 1 piece, but I still would like to get a new one in there
1 wheel bearing bolt......i remember hearing it hit the floor on it's way out the back....someone forgot the locktite :anon:
There's still something freaky going on with the brakes. It stops sometimes like it's working right, and sometimes the brakes go straight to the floor, but it still slows down somehow. For the cost of calipers, wheel cylinders, lines, and hoses, I'm just going to go ahead and change everything. Most of it is OE stuff, from 88, and should be changed anyway. I also found out that I have a broken u bolt on the rear axle, but I have new ones ready to go in with the 44.
The sad thing is, even with all that, I can't wait to get out there again.
