im not quite sure but im thinkin my axles have something wrong with them. when i do sharp turns, when the car is starting 2 slide, i rear this really loud clunking sound come from the back of the car, what is it? i remember for a while when i was in reverse and i would brake really fast it would make this sound, then when i would move forward and brake really fast it would make the sound, only once until i move in the opposite direction, like something was getting stuck, now its when i make sharp turns what is it??thanksseto

if you hear "click click click click" that's your cv joint. other thing i can think of that would do that is the diff's ring gear going out.

probably ring gear or the bearing on the center of the driveshaft.
