Hmm, maybe the welds broke loose. It would explain the noises.

Re: clicking poping and binding noise
 

so i pulled the rear diff cover, seems that most of the welds are loose and some of them are compleatly broken off, i pulled some good chunks off the magnet.

so as i moved the wheels i was getting some clunking coming from the diff.

also the more binding and pingin noise is coming from the passenger side rear tire, where exactly is hard to tell with the tire still off but it for sure the source of that noise.

anyone wanna venture some ideas on what you would do in this situation?

Re: clicking poping and binding noise
 

rebuild the rear diff. I'm not sure how, but I know Steve on here did.

Re: clicking poping and binding noise
 

i dont think i like the idea of trying to rebuild it, since its welded already, ill probly just have it rewelded and figure out the other noise.

need to find somone with a welder now

unless i can find a good rear diff for cheap

Re: clicking poping and binding noise
 

The other noise you were hearing could possibly be the wheel bearing. There isn't much else back there that could be making the noise.

Re: clicking poping and binding noise
 

yea its really faint, i only heard it cause my head was right in between the diff and the wheel, and it was pretty quite at the time.

its a very quite and sounds like a small metal piece is being "picked" like a musical instrument, just dosent resonate.

Re: clicking poping and binding noise
 

Yup, sounds like the wheel bearing is starting to go.It probably makes more noise when there's a load on the wheel. It's kinda hard to test with a loud exhaust, but it should be able to be heard if the car is slowly rolling and someone is listening back by the wheel
