Default Crunching Noise

Hey peeps. Whenever my car goes from a stop into motion theres some sort of crunching noise coming from the rear of the car when it first moves. It sounds like I'm running over a stick or something but whenever I look there isn't anything there. It doesn't happen when I turn or anything but whenever I start moving from a stop, even in reverse. Its not really loud but its noticeable with the top down. Idk if its my diff telling me it wants to go or something to do with wheels bearings, etc. Anybody know what it could be?

Thanks

Bryan or Craig, I believe would be the best sources...sounds like either the hubs or maybe the rear diff...but most likely the hubs. Hopefully it's NOTHING major!

Is it more of a click, click, click noise, or like a crunching/grinding sound from a take off?

guys, I guess I could say I am hearing this same noise. I mostly hear it with the window open or top down.
You have a pic of the axle nuts you tightened? I'd like to take a look under there

I had the problem too. I had the axle axle nuts replaced and tightened twice and it always came back. Last time it started I look at em, all looked "safe" and forgot about it. After some time, I stopped hearing it.


Fixed it self
