Default Noise coming from the rear end??

I have a noise that sounds like it is coming from the rear end. Its a really faint clunking noise that I only hear when I am slowing down. I have had done alot of suspension work done to my rear end(non adj control arms, relocation brackets, on car adj panhard rod, pro kit lowering springs) and I am sure I installed them correctly. Any idea what this noise could be? The noise starts when I slow down and you can hear the noise with the brakes applied and without. I have no clue....

Well if you think that it is coming from the diff itself you might want to try draining the fluid and putting new fluid in it. Make sure to buy GM limited slip additive to go in it(very important). Mine was clunking and I did this, no noise since.

Its completely normal, You are hearing the Torsen carrier gear drive internal gearing. As it gets older it will get louder and louder. It won't hurt anything. Don't waste your money or time on it. I wasted about 2500 dollars chasing the same noise...............OUCH!
