When ever i move the truck shakes and it sounds like its from the rear end i haven't time to take it apart but i don't know if its in my rear end or if i have just had a bad u-joint im just looking for some oppinions on what other people think before i start taking it appart

 

Well that sounds like you grenaded a rear end to me. You can crawl under the truck and look for play in the U-joints first by moving the driveshaft side to side and up and down at each end and you'll know right away if you broke one. If not, I'd bet on a rear end gone bad.

 

check your u-joints, sounds like what happened to me before my drivehshaft dicided to skid all over the ground

 

Some particulars on the truck would be nice.Ya know like year,engine tranny,2/4 WD.
You could have a bad u-joint,a dislodged brake pad,in the case of an auto tranny the flex plate may be broken.The posibilities are numerous.

 

well my truck is a 94 and is 2wd ands its has the 2.3l with a 5speed tranny.... but it ended up being the carrier bearing and when that went bad it took out one of the u-joints with it

 

Does the driveshaft have what looks to be a harmonic balancer toward the front ?These have a bad habit of the steel ring separating from the rubber.

 

I don't think think it looks like a harmonic balancer but the bearing is towards the front and the bearing seized and spun inside the rubber bushing it was held in. It was a very easy fix i did it on the floor in my garage.

 

only if we would of really looked at it we coulda figured it was the Carrier barring .....lol...it woulda been way easier to figure out...

 

make sure you don't hit any of the parts with a hammer that you have to use agian....
