My boy has a  76 chevy 4.10:1, 12 bolt rear end in his 70 4x4 pu. we get a fluttery/vibrating sound when he turns the wheel to the right when going about 60-70 miles per hour. we rotated the tires thinking that was an easy thing to eliminate, that doesn't seem to be the problem. We are going to pull the cover on the rear end and check for any movement left to right in the ring gear and if it is ok then I would think next is to check the carrier bearings, not sure how to go about this??? Could a axle bearing cause this type of problem??? We are not sure what would cause this type of problem and any suggestion would be appreciated thanks ed ke6bnl.

Sounds like it may be a left rear wheel bearing.

An elderly man told me recently that when you get old, there are three things you lose. The first is your memory, and he forgot the other two :oops:
