Default Ok something is totally fucked in rear end!!!

So after all this pinon angle shiz,replacing rear shocks,rims,tires etc..Now when i drive and hit a bump my right rear tire feels like it is gonna shake off the trucks,when i drive the whole rear waves up and down and is making me seasick.So when it was parked i grabbed the right rear tire and shook it,sounded like there was a clunking noise.Any thing i should look for.Im gonna look at the axles in the next few days.

Is this the stock rearend??? If it is there is a good chance that the spiders are F^&cked. At least that is what mine was, what your describing is what was wrong with mine, they were completely gone.. Could be the bearings also...Or a bent axle.. Hard to pin point it unless it is opened up..

Vanilla,Mangled.Too everything off the rear and started the truck with just the hub,no rotor or wheel on it.They are wobbling so bad,so now i think i may have figured my problem out.Going to order some axles tommorow as it seems to be a dealer item only.

Call a rear end/differential shop in your area. They'll be be able to get them cheaper than a dealer.
