I would suggest looking for the problem before you start throwing money at it.

I'm assuming it doesn't make the noise when u rev it up in park (/neutral and stopped for manual)? If not, roll slowly and have somebody try to pinpoint where the noise is coming from, you can get a better diagnosis that way. The reason I ask when u rev it up is b/c it sounds like u threw a rod or something, but if it's only when it rolls it's something different... got me tho, find out where it's coming from, if it's coming from the axles, then it's probably the axles (you can jack hte car up in the center and drive a little to see if it stilll makes the noise, it can help u diagnos it even better) Sorry I can't help more..


Good Luck

Brilliant...

Anyways, does it click louder or less when you turn the wheel? Is is clicking during acceleration? Is it from one side? Are your lugnuts tight? Give us a little bit more information, because it could be a bad CV joint, but a clicking noise can also be bad main bearings...

I couldn't imagine it being bad axles. LOL. Yeah, I'd just replace the axles. You can get driver side and passenger side both for $100 with the core at NAPA.

Hmm...yeah it could be the diff, but I wouldn't have suspected it before. Either, buy a new tranny, or buy a Quaife LSD.
