Found the source of the wub-wubs, without a doubt

I put the car up on a lift yesterday to rip the rest of the heat sheild off (the snow started the job), and just looking around under there I grabbed the driveaxle. To my suprise the rear carrier bearing allows the axle to move about an inch in any direction. The rubber is completely rotted out, and it doesn't even take a small amount of pressure to get the axle to move.

So for all you with the rear end noise problems, be sure to check this out too.

Do you mean driveshaft? I'm pretty sure the rear driveaxles don't have carrier bearings. Only the left front does. Not to nitpick; I just want to understand what you mean.

As in when you are driving you hear wub wub wub wub & it increases as you go faster. Kinda like a out of round or cupped tire( or even flat for that matter). Makes a sound almost like a washing machine.

From my experience anyway.
 

hmmm, pretty straight-foward. kind of unrelated, but i have serious steering wheel vibration under hard braking, and have since i got the car. any ideas?

Oops, yeah, I meant driveshaft. It was early, and I hadn't woken up yet.
