·ok, so I made a mistake, a BIG mistake. I was hill racing the other day, and went into a little bit of a drift. The guy I was racing did the same thing, and pulled over after he got traction again. Me, not wanting him to know that I didn't mean to get into that drift, bust out an E Brake 180 (please don't tell me how stupid that was, I already know) to try to offset any idea he might have about the "accidental drift".
So I park by him and we talk, anyway, back on topic, when I pull away to head back home, I am hearing this thumping noise in the rear. I am pretty sure its just a flat worn spot on my Pilot Sports from the E-Brake turn. This is NOT the case. After the sound got worse, and I swore I could feel a slight "looseness" in the rear, I put the car on some jack stands. When you put it into gear, and start to spin the wheels, something hesitates. Its like the rear axle doesn't want to move at first, and then it makes this horrid metal on metal noise. You can feel all kinds of shyte lose back there. So I am guessing axle, differential, what? I already checked all the bolts on everything, they are all tight as hell, so I am thinking maybe the axle is cracked. I'm still learning about my car, and reading up as much as I can about it, so I just figured I'd ask for some advice from the people that know my car best. You. Help me out, I would REALLY appreciate some opinions here, besides how big of a moron I am for doing this.
NEVER AGAIN BABY!
