Clicking Sound coming from the Back. HELP Please.
There is a clicking sound that comes from the back of the car whenever i turn 90 degrees or more to the left ONLY which is strange. Im suspecting its the rear end, but the rear end sounds smooth when im driving in a straight line or turning right. So what could be the problem?
By the way i did check everything under the car and everything looked in place and tight. So its not an Exhaust, or suspension components. I did find something intresting though.... When i made one guy move the tires to the front and i moved to the tires to the back and they did move a little until the diff lock closed again. I'm not sure if that means i need a new diff lock?

I thought I saw a TSB for axle clicking from the rear... Anyone have any details about that? I have a slight click at just off-idle speeds in our A4 SS that sounds like a transmission or axle click in the rear... No change on turns just at slow off-idle speeds like when we are caught in traffic...
I really have not been too worried about it just curious...

Do a search on the Zexel-Torsen rear. Or on marbles or rocks in can or box. (The sound gets worse and more exotic with time). You'll find ample discussions of this problem. Bottom line is that while it's not good, it doesn't mean your rear end is going to go to pieces tomorrow.

I think I have seen one(TSB) that was talking about people complaining about the aluminum drive shaft making noise..............if I have to listen to mine much longer theres gonna be a steel one in there, and use the aluminum one for a mailbox post.
