Rear end clicking
Okay so I have a 1995 Camaro Z28. Recently replaced a bad tranny mount and now I am on to the next problem…there is a clicking noise coming from the rear end. Its the differential or something near it. It does not happen all the time but randomly. And it almost always clicks after a burn out or getting on it. The clicking changes speed with the speed of the car but is no longer audible after about 35mph. The clicking stops when you slightly depress the breaks. Owner before me slid into a curb and broke the rear rim and had to have the gears in the differential replaced. Any ideas????

You mentioned that the previous owner slid into a curb and bent the rim.
You probably have a bent axle flange causing the axle to shimmy back and forth while contacting the brakes. Your also probably getting a little noise from the axle tapping the pinion shaft of the spider gears.
When you apply the brakes your absorbing the free movement of the axle floating in and out muffling the noise.

Brakes
Well after further inspection I have found that my brakes and rotors have some issues. So I think I'll start by overhauling them and see if my clicking goes away and move on from there. It can't hurt to update the braking system either way you look at it.

Well i put new rotors and brake pads in the rear end and the noise quit! one of my pads was worn and started to move around when the wheels spun..hence the clicking So happy the noise is gone!!!!
