Loud clicking from rear end?

02-21-2013, 06:14 PM

Not hub bearings or CVs, clicks in all gears and at different rates at different rpms. cant feel any difference in performance, just loud and sounds like two solid metal poles smacking together. Any Ideas?

Drive shaft? Get the rear wheels in the air and see if you can then hear the noise. If so it should be easy then to find the source.

The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

That's what i did but no sound, the noise happens only at like 1700rpm and 2700rpm in all gears while the wheels are on the ground moving the car

Something may be stuck in a tire.

Wheel lug bolts too long in the rear and are interfering with the parking brake?
