Ordinarily it's just the axle bearings that fail.

No big deal, other than needing a big fraggin' press to get them off and put the new ones on. They press on to the axle.

***This post isn't to revive this thread, but to help people out when searching***

I bought this guys car and the "rumbling" sound came from the Watts linkage-stud being sheered off. I arc-welded a 'new' stud on, but broke it again a little more than a month later. It sounded more like a shaking sound when it broke, but it definitely affected the handling of the car.
