Re: [Chevelle-list] rear axle ratio??

[Dan McIntosh]

lol.. when I first bagged my 64, I had a popping noise when raising the rear passenger side.. to figure out what was happening...I put the axle tubes on jack stands, laid under the axle, and had my wife raise and lower the car so I could see what was going on.. It wasn't a very good feeling, considering my car does not raise slowly at all... Oh well, at least I figured out where the noise was coming from..   Dan McIntosh Pavement Scraping 1964 Impala SS http://www.lowriderimpala.com   ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Corgill To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 8:43 AM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] rear axle ratio??
