clunking noise

When the cars is turning the rear end makes a clunking noise it does not do it if you push in the clutch and coast through the turn. Before it started making the clunking noise it made a growning noise while turning. The growning noise then turned into the clunking noise. I am thinking that the posi traction is worn out. Can it be rebuilt or do I need a new unit.

If it's a auburn you can replace the axle gears. Mine did the same thing. Axle gear was broken. If it's a Torsen id just find a carrier.

It doesn't sound like the problem is in your rear if it stops when you push in the clutch.

You ran your pie hole about something you nothing about. Your comment proved that. I fixed it and it was what I thought it was to begin with. Anytime you need help trying understand how something works feel free to ask. I'll be happy to teach you. Have a nice day
