You're in the wrong forum and yes, that's a welded diff. The clicking I'm not sure of though.

I hope you know those diffs are not daily driven friendly.

One thing you have to consider is the fact that a welded diff puts alot of excess strain on the drivetrain. Thoes cv axles can only take so much abuse before they start to wear out. With a welded diff the car is basicly trying to tear itself apart, so one thing you may want to find out is how long the car has been like that.

If i where u, i would take it to a local suspension and have them check it out, its real fast, and they wont charge u a thing.
