Can you give us the engine number off the engine case, not the plate in the engine compartment?
In the mean time, check the nuts on the axels, I had a owner bring his car in one time and he had put the axel nut on hand tight and then backed it off a 1/4 turn (like a Chevy) needless to say, the splines on the axel melted away as he stripped everything front he axel to the hubs. Both hubs and axels needed to be changed out.
