#1 of 3 Rear End - Differential by astrovette Sep 12, 2007 (11:42 am)
I have a 2001 Chevy Astro 2wd w/ 55,300 miles I recently had the rear end replaced due to a bad diff (as per mechanic). There was a constant noise coming from the rear when I accelerated. Now I'm getting a thumping sound from the rear when I release the brake after stopping. I've been back and forth w/ the mechanic as he does not seem to know what the problem is. First he thought and still thinks its the brakes not releasing properly. I think it may be a bad rear end from the salvage. Can anyone provide guidance as it's getting riduculous going back and forth to the mechanic Replies to this message: tmcdougall (Sep 30, 2007 4:48 pm) astrovette (Oct 01, 2007 6:21 am)
