My rear driveline has a hole in the back where the back dips down. The lug nut from the front wiggled out and put a hle through it. My mother is very worried to even move my car. Is it ok to move my car?
and does anyone have a good suggestion on how to fix the rear driveline?

thanks

I cant right now cause my battery is dead and my car is parked in the garage with the back facing the back. So as soon as I get it charged up I will put on as many pics as I can. Thank you

Hi there,

Not the best of pic's but from what I can see I would say that it is a shrapnel hole from something exploding in the diff, the diff will have to come out for further investigation, the housing should be repairable by welding a patch over the hole.
