Driving down the road my 2004 s10 will jerk. It has been doing this for a couple of weeks now. It started out just a little jerk once or twice, but tonite did it quiet often. Sometimes it is a slight jerk and occassionaly a little rougher jerk. I have taken it to the garage and they replaced a wheel bearing, but evidently this was not it. I have had the rear end replaced in the past 6 months. New brakes, rotors changed on the front, new fuel filter, transmission fluid and filter. Please help, your assistance would be greatly appreciated

jerking is not normally a bearing. I would take this to atrans pro and let him give you a diagnosis,it's possible that when the trans fluid and filter were changed that the filter wasn't installed correctly and the trans may not be pickin gup the fluid like it needs to. If the rear end is a posi unit then that could be a problem as well as the unit itself may be slipping then grabbing. Dealers have an additive tha t can help this out immensly. Of course if the unit is bad then no additive will help
