Default oh $#@!

I've been hearing some clicking noises coming from the back of my car recently. It started happening after FWT. I thought it was my imagination at first. From a stop, or after reversing I'd hear a click or two as I drove off in first. Now I'm starting to hear ocassional clicks when I turn and sometimes from 1-2nd and 2-3rd upshifts. Is it time to upgrade to 4.57's? How can I make sure it's just not rocks being kicked up by my tires?

I think thats the common sound from the rear diff. My friend also had an AP1 and when we drove together he noticed that mine makes that clicking sound. His also made the same sound.. i don't think its broken though..

Did you take the baseball cards out of the spokes of your wheels?

What you describe sounds like you have the 'brake pad spacer' click....or let's at least hope that's what it is.

If there's ANY clicking from the diff, or the inner side of your axles, we NEED to take a look at this ASAP!

Is it a high-frequency click noise (like rocks hitting the underside), a low frequency thump (like someone punching a book), or a low-frequency pluck (like someone pulling on the spokes of a bicycle wheel)?
