53K miles just started making a clunk around corners but intermittent
and not on straights. Is this just a standard rear end that I can replace
the spyder and axle gears and live happily ever after? I used to own a 70
Camaro and had the same thing happen, replaced those 4 gears and it was
fine for 50K more miles when I sold it. If I chose not to repair it
myself,
how much should I expect to pay? $500, $750. $1000?

Kid isn't old enough and no there isn't a broken shock or loose exhaust.
I know the feeling and the sound of a broken spyder gear. I'm going to
have a local mechanic give me and estimate Monday for $50.

When a spyder gear breaks its easy to tell, the vehicle doesnt move anymore.

who was the ace of shattering spyder gears with a V-8 powered Vega cobbled
together in Germany.

Several Items.

Look in the glove box for the code "G80". If there it looks like your
"locker" is about to crap out.

Can you replicate the issue by standing at the rear of the vehicle, and move
the body?

Can you replicate it by moving the exhaust pipe.
