I have a clicking from the rear of my car and before I jack it up and play with it I'd like to know if anyone else has this problem. It changes with speed leading me to believe its either the axles, a u-joint, or something in the brakes. If I've been on the highway for a long time and brake hard for something it comes back heavier than usual. I was thinking about purchasing a 1 piece driveshaft and new rear brake calipers anyways since I've had some problems with both things but I may need to hold off in case I need new axles.Anyone have the same noise?

Mines just started clicking too, except mine happens when I take off from a stop. Hopefully I can get it on the lift this Sunday

yes this is common i work at a dealer just pull your axles out rotate them 180 and put a lubricant on the splines when you reinstall them! if that doesnt fix them then your axle is probably bad! good luck man!
