Anyone know of any place that rebuilds the non-serviceable driveshafts?
Or is my only solution to buy new driveshaft or one from a junkyard?
I have an 88 GL wagon AWD.

I have a thumping noise coming from the rear differential of the car as I drive slowly (coasting or stopping). Sounds like it clanks or thumps with each wheel rotation.
Here's the key...when I put the car in Four-Wheel drive, the noise dissapears. I lifted the car - an 88 GL wagon - and had a friend rock the right rear wheel back and forth and the noise seems to come from the front part of the differential.
Thanks for any help.

After a couple of weeks of downtime, finally got a look at it. It was the axle (castle) nut. Wasn't torqued down tight enough. Thanks to posters.

The nuts are tighter than...well, I won't go into that. The noise is consistent whether I am braking or just coasting. One thing is that I can get the axle nut off but the brake drum is stuck on and I can't get that off. The opposite (driver) side brake drum comes off easily and the pads are in good shape so I am guessing the pad is similair. There is no droning noise so I don't think it's a wheel bearing.
I notice when I pull on the driveshaft it has a little more play than the opposite shaft. Could it be the CV type joint?

Each time I come to a stop or drive at low speeds in my 88 GL AWD wagon a thumping noise comes from the right rear.
Doesn't matter if I am braking or coasting. As the car slows the noise slows as well. It sounds like it is related to the revolutions of the tire/wheel.
I jacked up the car today and spun the tire but no noise came out. Seemed to spin quite freely. One guy guessed a loose strut but I don't know. Any ideas?

Thanks to all who posted. Rockford seems to be the solution for me.
