    Default Rear end shudder

    hey guys,

    driving home from work today i gave the girl a bit at a set of lights. Between mid - high revs under hard acceleration its almost as if the car is shuddering, as if a wheel is loose. Could almost be explained as when your rotors need machining and you brake hard a similiar effect to that but in the rear end (maybe left side)

    any suggestions, i have been told it could be CV's or Diff?

    'original' "donut" is fingered.. crack between the holes and bends heaps.. if yours is doing the same thing i would put it up and have a look, may have to remove the zorst but its definatley worth it.. it may not look stuffed but upon further inspection you will find defects..

    Pretty much like the clutch im guessing, 'made to break' time for another one!!

    Rubber Tailshaft coupling is the correct name for it!
