Rear end problems?

My '88 Supra.

Sometimes, if I turn the wheels and come to a stop, when I go to start off
again it feels like something is loose in the rear end. It's like a shift
from one side to the other. This car has the LSD option.

Of course, I crawled around under the car and everything is tight.
I need to bleed the brakes, and probably need new pads and rotors for the
rear, but that will probably wait until spring. When I do lift the rear
end, I'll check the shafts, but when I had it up last year they seemed
fine. A cursory check shows boots OK, no rips or tears.

I have access to another LSD rear end. The current one is full of gear oil
(fresh drain and fill last summer) with a proper LSD additive. When I
first did the change last year, it went away for a short time.

I checked the level the other day, and it is full.

Maybe I'll try some more additive...?

1) Sell the car.
2) Pick 10 songs that scare the crap out of you.
3) Pick up the bass and learn them.

They all do.

No time. Too busy ****ing with cars.

By the way, you never finished explaining your problem with Germany's health
care system. I know why you never finished, but I thought I'd remind you
before you pretend to forget.

What's your problem with Germany's health care system?

Germany's system is drowing. They are taking steps to fix the problems, but
expect the changes to take many years to implement.

What is your attraction to Germany's health care system?

I have no attraction to Germany's system, and you never saw me post anything
even remotely suggesting such a thing.

NEWSFLASH
When you (JoeWithOneBrainCellAndIt'sDead) ask, "What's your problem with
Germany's health care system?" the implication is that you somehow think it
is good (that means ATTRACTIVE), and something, we the USA, should strive to
emulate. So, I ask again, what is your attraction to Germany's health care
system?

Well, for one thing, it actually exists. And it cares for people's health.
Sadly, we don't have such a thing in the US, what we have is a system that
is all about making profits.

I'm not against making profits at all, mind you, but there's a point at
which you have to stand back and wonder where 25% of the GDP is really going.

Germany's health care plan is in disarray. They are in the midst of several
major changes that they estimate will take YEARS to implement. Yes, they
have health care, but they also have serious problems funding it. They are
finding it to be far more costly than they expected, and they have high
unemployment so tax collections are small -- not large enough to keep up
with the health care demands.

And, Germany does not hide the fact that it is a socialist economy.

In a free market economy, the government is not supposed to provide
anything, everything should come from the market. Obviously, a pure free
market can't serve everybody, or won't.

Our system can stand some work, no question on that. The question is, should
we fix the parts that don't work so well, or turn the whole thing over to
government and bring the parts that do work well down to the level of the
parts that don't -- thereby levelling out the system?
