Hey guys. I was doing some spirited driving in the rain two days ago and everything was going well untill i drifted the rear of the car into some dirt on the side (road-2ft level sandy terrain- ~leveled concrete walkway) and i believe the driver's rear tire touched the walkway too.
Anyways, the car was perfect before that and now i have an ugly noise coming from the rear of the car that's scaring the ******** out of me. I describe it as a clunking noise whos intensity increases with speed and ONLY makes noise when the clutch is not engaged (moving in N, b/ shifting)
I feel it is RIGHT ON THE DIFF....i had a similar problem with my old corolla (ae86 rwd) when i put an LSD unit and didnt align the gears well...but it could be something else. I looked under the car, everything looks okay (suspension okay, diff/suspension bushings look healthy enough), rusty diff (could peel layers of rust), rustly axles-diff connections...visually sane.
What do you think it is? I have enough exp and ability to swap out a diff (might as well get the lsd). should i jack the rear and run the car?. I just want to know IF the noise even comes from the diff. Spirited driving included just a few agressive gear drops and clutch kiks but i'm no animal and i'm very concious of my car.
looking forward to hear from you. ty
