Getting a click from the rear section of the car, thought it was my diff(wouldn't be the first one) but I have since ruled that out and I am lost on what may be causing this.

Crossed my mind, I may do some adjusting and see what happens. It just really sounded like a differential on it's way out even though I know it isn't.

I think I need to stick my go pro under my car and see how my 8.8 and delrin cradle bushings are holding up. Just replaced my 8.8 bushings as well after pulling one of these(see pic). Car runs smooth just a click here and there almost like something is binding.

Last I checked everything seemed solid to me, the only thing I've noticed is a little rotational slack in there allowing the ds to turn back and forth a little when the car is in gear which is to be expected with these things.

If you replaced them with derlin im going to guess thats the scource of your click. did you grease the snot out of them? When my SWerks cradle bushings were first installed i didnt grease them and they clicked and creaked like a old wooden ship.. pulled them greased them with marine grease.. quiet for 20-30k

dayum that sucks.. what is it exactly internally? pinion not setup right, allowing to much slack/play in the worm gears making it click and clunk

At this point I just need to pull it apart and look, the thing was perfect for about 500 miles. Been funky every since the bushing broke, there isn't an excessive amount of play but something is out of alignment.
