Tink in driveline. Hey guys, I have this "tink" in the drive line that has me stumped.
(My 06 GTO)
Car has DSS 2 Piece Driveshaft
DSS 800HP Wheel Hop Axles and
DSS 108mm Bolt on Differential Stubs
I have dropped the drive shaft and see no rubbing or scratches anywhere. The U-joints are tight and the carrier bearing looks good. It only makes this load one time on loading and one time on unloading the drive line. (tho one occurrence it did tink twice on loading).
Could this noise be transmitting from the pinion into the drive shaft? Only thing I can think of at this point.
Here are 2 short, terrible videos that you can here this in:

If you didn't cut off the seat belt bolt, that is probably it. At one point, I had the DSS two piece, and that happened to me. Try to get your finger between the bolt and the driveshaft.
Other than that, there are a lot of tinks, clanks and clunks in the driveline even if you have a lot of good parts.

My DSS would ding going from reverse to forward all of the time. I'm pretty sure it was from the slack in the cv joints going back thru the diff to the driveshaft. I didn't have play in the diff.

I still have not gotten to the bottom of this. Starting to think this may be suspension related. I do not drive this car often as I DD my YJ Goat.
But it has now taken to "tinking" a few times on acceleration.
When it first started doing this it would tink one time on acceleration then just one time on deceleration. But I am noticing now that it will do it sometimes after the drive line unloads and I am coasting. So I'm not real sure if it is drive line. Bumps in the road do not make it happen and I have zero performance issues. No vibrations, rattles, shimmy's, nothing!
So I am all most to the point of driving it till it lets go! LOL! Then I will know!
Any input would be helpful. By the way, mods to the car...

Nope, I have come to letting this thing break, Then I will find it! LOL! I only drive the car a few miles a day if that. Have been very busy, however in the next week or two the car is going up on a rack for a real look. After trying to find this issue on jack stands many, many times, I gave up. Still no vibration or anything other then the noise. I will post back after I find the problem.

I think I have finally found the issue. Last time I was under the car, I check the U joints for leakage and tried the best I could to see if they showed any play. Well today the tink turned to a clunk so I went back under and found this...
