C10 Suburban Rear-end Shaking
 

Hello All,
I have a question for all the knowledgeable people on here. When taking off and driving my 66 Sub, the rear-end is shaking. It's not bad enough to keep it from driving down the road, it shakes more taking off. I've recently put new shocks on. I thinking it's something in the brakes sticking or something like that. I just wanting to see if anyone else has had the same problem? Or might have some idea what could be causing it.
Thanks,
Mark

Id get it up in the air and see if the wheels turn freely and check the dive shaft.

Universal joints

It has 2 driveshafts in it. Shorter front one & longer rear one. The only place there is any play is where the two meet. Kind of expect a little there. Could it be anything else?

Bent wheel or separating tire?

Flywheel chatter if its a manual?

loose rearend

Does it make a difference if its under load (accel) or (decel) or just coasting?

u-joints, carrier bearing if you have one on the subs (can't remember), posi slipping/clicking if applicable, driveline angle from worn trans or motor mounts or rear end isn't aligned with the trailing arms.

Carrier bearing

Was able to get under it today. It's the carrier bearing, it's shot. Going to replace the universal joints as well, while I'm under there.

Thanks for all the advice and what to look for! Really appreciate it guys!
