I was putting in some springs today move the brake rotor here and there once I was done I drove around to see if everything was fine. As I was reversing it felt like I hit a rock or something kept on going same thing again weird cuz my driveway had no rocks. So I got out to the main road and the car will start to vibrate make some noises this only happens when I'm in gear, and when I put it in neutral or change gears everything is as smooth as it should be. Anybody know the problem?
Bad axle or something else maybe?

What do you mean, felt like you hit a rock?
And just out of curiosity, park the car and walk around it, pushing down on each corner so it's bouncing up and down a bit, and see if you hear any harsh noises.

loose axle?? if its a bad axle, clicking noises and unwanted deceleration takes place....any other symptoms????
It'll vibrate as I'm driving, take it out of gear everything is fine sometimes when I'm driving slowly I hear harsh noises like thunk!!! And loud clicking noise, the cv shaft or boot whatever one is going to the tranny the joint has some play in it (loose)

yea and will eventually snap in half and make u call AAA to tow ur car home and watch it on a flatbed towtruck.... well that happened to me LOL all fixed now though
So here's what I have noticed so far it'll only shake when in gears, it will make clunking noises when I turn and give it gas, I took my wheel off spun the rotor by hand it'll somewhat turn well on it's own,but I think it's the joint were it connects from the wheel to the tranny is where it's messed up. I was wondering if I can maybe hit it back in place? Take it back out and put it back in again? Is there a specific way ?
