Default Clicking noice when accelerating hard and turning.

Well, I finally bought a 1998 SS, but got a few questions. Under hard acceleration and accelerating outta turns, there's clicking noises or knocking noises coming from the rear end. I was just told that the car has posi. The car dosen't have traction control. Is this true that the noise is normal because of the posi??
I'll send pics and info on the car later on. Thanks.

no, it should not make any of those noises, get your rear checked before it goes BOOM like derek's did

mine was whisper quiet when I first got it, then I put in 4.10 gears and it whistles lightly at freeway speeds and quiet at turns etc... need to get mine checked osmetime too...

Nope. No headers. The person that I bought it from did put 4.10 gears in it and replaced the cats with high flows with new piping all the way back with a flowmaster. I do plan on getting the rear end serviced around Christmas time. And with the wheel bearings and seals, how do I go about checking on that?

If you still have a Torsen carrier those are the sounds they make before they go boom. Its the side gears that loose teeth and make the clunk/popping noise. Eventually the car will no longer move so your going to want to look into this sooner rather than later

You'll have to take it to a shop and tell them to check those for you......

You can pull ther rear cover and check for any metal debris in the oil or on the magnet. That would be your first indicator of a problem. Let me know if you need any parts.

I have a 95 that came with an Auburn but there's a torsen in it now. His gears were changed by the previous owner and maybe the differential at the same time. He needs to have a look behind the cover plate soon.
