differential took a poop

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

Like D man said...

Start it up, put it in gear, and look at the inner CV flanges.

One side will probably be spinning... It was my passenger side inner CV that took a dump.
When it's that far gone, you can grab the shaft, and easily move it side to side, like in a 2 Live Crew song. 

Pushing it side to side... ;)

    Yeah, make sure the inner CV's aren't spent...

    I had a totally F'd up inner CV joint once, the car would not move, it just 
    made a horrible rotational noise.
