launching over a speed hump = broken diff
So the other day Im driving home and its Monsoon season here..
3" of rain in a few hours, streets flood etc. ..the other day it happen on the drive home from work. So I took a detour down a street I use once in a while to avoid the flooded main streets, and doing about 45 when I see a NEWLY INSTALLED speed hump (ours are usually about 3 ft long and 2-3" high) in the pouring rain at the last second ..damn. I had my dog in the front seat too so I couldnt just slam on the brakes or she would of met the windshield real fast..I touched the brakes, put my right arm to the side to keep Sabrina from diving forward, and held on...Im pretty sure I caught air and my front tires did hit my front fenders..ugh. Soon after I still had to drive thru a 30 ft section of road with about 2ft of water ( I have video of that, almost got swept away there ) Anyway,...no I have a horrid clunk and shutter when turning... backing up or going forward. Im almost sure its the front diff. So Im going to drive it like I stole it until it breaks and see how long it can last... ![]()

I would think if it was the front diff, it would not just be a problem when turning...sounds more like a bad axle, or suspnsion component to me...
Just my take on it ![]() Either way, I hate it for you....

I am conisidering calling the city road maintance about it
because it was new and there where No markings on it or signs up anywhere. The speed limit on that rd is 30 and I that would of also caused some damage I think. Huck, I put the car in the air, the driveshaft, rear axles etc all are tight as a drum, but the noise doesn sound like its coming from the rear. But Ive heard this noise before on other Svxs and it turned out to be the Ft dirff. Another reason Im not fixing anything till well,...it really breaks and the car wont move. haha.

its not funny, but Im just trying to make it seem less harsh as it really was... Actually you can file a claim with the city, which I did today to have them pay to fix your car, so maybe if all goes well they will pay to have it fixed. Being as it wasnt properly designated with a sign etc, I have a good case.
