Hi, so I was pulling out of borders today and I gave it some gas and my tires broke loose right away, But I have AWD. THe odd thing is it was pretty dry and it felt only like the front wheels. It did this a couple of more times when I acceled, the tires just totally broke loose, and I pulled in to target and turned to park and then I heard and felt a loud ass clunck, then I beat on it for a minute and HEY...my AWD was back???

My buddy john (a tech) said that it was be my the bearings that support the rear drive shaft, ya know, that circle looking thing around the rear driveshaft. Is this possible. ANother thing that leads me to belive this is when Im decelling in any gear, giving it no gas, in has a real rough feel to it. like bad bearings or something. Could this be the problem? I dont want to mess any thing else up!!!

Help!!!
 
Might be bad bearings, but from what I've messed with, I would personally take it to a mechanic and pay them to do it right. I wouldn't mess with any of that stuff if you're not familiar with it. Bearings or not, you should still get a mech. to check it out if it's your drivetrain. DSMs aren't friendly with their drivelines ;)
