The intermittent banging scraping noise that has plagued the car since I bought it a few years ago has just returned with a vengance. Could be half shafts, could be diff, could be bearings, could be who knows what. I found a rather large and suspiciously automotive looking bolt sheared in half in the gutter just outside my driveway the day after it started again last week and I can no longer ignore the reality of potential catastrophic failure somewhere in the rear end. So I've switched to driving my truck again until I can sort this out. I'll be getting it up on ramps again this weekend and having a thorough inspection under there to see if I can find what is going on. If there is no visual sign of anything wrong I have to assume it's internal to the diff in some way.
