If it is, what pistons c...

Just a little advice... check your rear axle bearings!
(Preview)
Oops... Rear axle shaft broke clean at the bearing, probably due to the latter failing. By chance, car was slowing down on a small residential street. No damage to the body, but brake shoes and springs, lines, etc. are toast.
