       Michael, it could be that the axel nut has come loose.  Back off and 
retighten to specs in Bentley.  I would advise that you take both rear axel 
nuts off, clean them and replace them if they are damaged and use anti-sieze 
before installing them.  the torque spec for these nuts is 360 foot pounds.  
You should also repack the bearings while you have the nuts off.  

Cheers�
