PLease Help A.S.A.P before i start this
Well I got a new used third member today, And I am about to switch out my old one
This is the problem, I get under the car to listen, I spin my wheels and I here absolutely nothing coming from the third member instead the noist seems to be coming from where my driveshaft meets the tranny, a grinding sound, which I had assumed was my third member, please help before I get this all started.
What is the grinding sound, and how can I completely eliminate my third memberfrom being the problem, if thats the case. HELP
Other than the noise I cant tell if its my third member. she rides fine, leaves to skid marks all the time, if that tells you anything about it's condition

Explain the wiggle in more detail if you would. Also is the noise coming from the front or the rear of the driveshaft? It could be that one of you u-joints is going out or the output bearing of the tranny is failing. Neither is a good thing. Now that everything is tightened up, wiggle the driveshaft and see how much rotational play you have.
