Default Now what?

back story - rear end would clunk pretty hard when turning the car sharply

finally got some time off and a chance to pull the cover off to see what was up. i can't see anything broken, but when i spin the wheels and watch the smaller gears inside what i assume to be the posi unit or whatever, they don't turn. i'm a complete noob, so maybe they're not supposed to, i don't know. i haven't put everything back together yet, what else do i need to check for possible damage, malfunction?

please go easy on me, lol, i'm trying to learn here.

edit: just realized i posted this in the wrong section, can i get a mod to move it please
