Default Rear End Click PLEASE HELP!

hey guys here's the story. i have a 99 z A4. about 6-8 months ago i had the car in for warranty work. they rebuild the rear end (ring pinion bearings, everything) Ever since then if i am turning a corner with my foot off the gas, and coasting i get a click click click. Now i have been told that what i am hearing is the clutch packs from the posi. if i put a load on it (press the gas) it goes away it doesnt do it when i am going straight or if the gas is pressed but if i turn and coast i hear it. and it is not annoyingly loud, just enough to hear it. any help would be great. and also i get a WOMP WOMP sound from the front when i turn left at high speeds, 45+ i thought it was the hub assembly, so i replaced the left side, and it did no good. anyone else had that problem? and help me. please guys and help would be great thank you again. If you ever need suspension advice i am your man, i am a Suspension only mechanic, but i know nothing about the rear end in my car.


Mike

Perhaps they forgot the additive to the gear oil for the posi carrier?

apparently it's "normal". I've had it for over a year now, does not seem to get worse. Checked rear diff today, it's in top condition, no shavings/broken teeth/clicks when rotating manually.

If you find a way to get read of it without doing $500+ worth of replacements, let me know.
