my rear end has started to make a funy noise, when I slow down in gear in neuteral the rear makes a ticking noise, kinda like the wheel of fortune wheel...when the car slows down it gets louder. is this from my diff, axles or the drive shaft??? anyone know

 

Cv join maybe.... there have been previous post on bad CV joins due to not retorqueing the spindle nut....... does the rear end vibrate?

 

no vibrations and my 1/2 shafts and diff have been replaced.

 

Replaced with a complete new diff or just rebuilt? If rebuilt, it may have not been put together correctly. This can be a common cause of diff noises.

 

A loose spindle nut does not cause the CV joint to go bad. The loose spindle nut noise is similar to the one described by allenheathdj, and is due to the splined shaft shifting in the hub.

A ticking noise when slowing or accelerating is more typically a loose spindle nut, clicking or clunking while turning, especially slowly at high steering angles, is often the CV joint.

 

thanks for the correction......
