Loud rattle

Post by camelott112 »

ok so last weekend i tood penee on her first endevor and i high centered her on some ice framed out and an inch to the ground threw my allignment out and now i veer to the left and its a little goosy on acceleration the thing im concerned with is that when i juice it i get a pretty bad rattle and im concerned it feels like my rear drive shaft and i dont know exactly what to look for should i just duct tape chevyman6 under her and see if he can find it while im driving?

set the rear wheels on jack stands and put it gear....letting the idle speed turn the rear wheels......watch the drive shaft.....should be "straight"!!!!
also....is the "rattle" a vibrating noise... or a rattle!!???

and that is his pic...on a "bad "!! :lol:

most alignment heads that i have used will mount on either the inside lip,,, or the outside of the rim!! does your tires buldge out that much that he can not attach the head to the outside of the rim?? :?
