OK i have the problem with my rear. when the car hits 20 mph the right wheel start hopping https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png . so i think its was the bushing so i just finished changing them and its still doing it. i then thought it could be the strut so i jacked the rear up and tried it again 25 mph it starts to shake again. wheel bearings and new tires.....still doing it. i even put another rim on there thinking maybe just maybe rims might be bent but again its still shaking.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png so i get under and pulled on the axles and theres slite play on the right sidewhere its bolted to the diff could this be the problem? Then out no where while im just letting the car idle she shuts off. i look at the main fuses under the hood and the 30A RETRACTOR fuse blew put in another and it blew out again.. why me..why anybody. if theres anybody who had any of these problems before or just might know whats going on please post something. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif

You must have a short worked into your headlights somewhere. Inspect your wiring for bare wires that might be touching chassis.

As for the one rear wheel hopping, that's wierd! You shouldn't have any play as far as that goes..

thanks for reading .... how would i know if the rear diff is bad?

yeah, check those headlights, the other night while working on mine, it was runnin fine n stuff while i was playin with my head light(pass side isnot on the car right now- replacing soon) and i touched somethin wierd. all the lights inside shut off and the starter wouldnt turn. turn the key and nothing- not even ligts gettin dim inside. anyways, i started gettin pissed and kicked the old headlight motor and all the sudden bam- lights come on and the damn headlight motor just starts goin crazy and workin! i bout **** a brick when that actuator arm started workin. i didnt pop fuses that i know of but if i were you, i'd check those lil bastards.

so the retractor fuse goes the the light motor? well somthing is wrong there. my lights still worked fine with this fuse blown https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

well i think im going to change my rear. Would anybody be able to give a write up on the jobor know where i can find a DIY page. does the subframe have to be pulled to get to it? looks like it needs to but it also looks like the control link is bolted to the subframe. ifs its only a few hours worth a work i will just give it shot. the rear is just about the only part of a car i havent got to play around with yet so i think its time for me to step up to the plate.

How old are your shocks? It sounds lie you have a blown out shock to me. That will make 1 corner of a car bounce down the road. I see it on hoopties all the time.

would a bad shock do that even when its jacked off the ground? the paint on the springs are chipping and look like **** so im taking there old and all. but i will switch them around and see what happens.
