Was the repeated knocking noise I heard when the tail was sliding normal?

The noise stopped as soon as the tire(s) gripped. I hadn't experienced any noise when I cornered or u-turned at any speed as long as the tire gripped unlike some others had experienced.

What noise was that? Differential in the works?

Perhaps, it was a passerby...

Were you launching your car? That noise doesn't sounds too good. Take it to the dealer if it happened again.

I don't usually let my passengers ride in the trunk when I decided to let the tail out... but it could be a passerby...

It happens every time the tail slides out for more than roughly 5 degree, but nothing when I launch it on wet with wheel spin.

Any idea?
