I dunno what it is, but I'd find it before travelling that fast again... a broken U-joint, failed ball joint, or any other mechanical failure would be catastrophic at those kinds of speeds...

I would guess ujoint or a problem with the tranny. Take it to a transmission shop or a mechanice asap.

I don't think it WAS funny......I think he was stating what is known as the ricer fly by......It's really not his fault if what he described sounds exactly like what you did.
