Bromley's Corvettes Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Customer just bought a 77 vette from Vegas and it had a clunking and grinding noise coming from rear end. It had the wrong lube in it and the rear housing/cover is cracked. E-brake shoes also rubbing and U-joints need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromley's Corvettes Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well threes your problem lol. Looks like who ever did the rear gear swap over tq the rear bolt and caused the cover to crack. Center of rear end looks good in side so hes lucky.

Bromley's Corvettes Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks guys and thats not a full resto just rebuilt the half shafts and replaced the rear cover and cleaned and painted the spring and replaced the spring bolts and bushings. The car runs good with the 3.70 gear but could really use a over drive on freeway. Maybe he will be back for a 700R4 swap or even a 5-speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
