Red face Rear end clicks on right side when moving in reverse?!---

Well I didnt realize I had a low tire (20lbs) in my right side and did a nice launch/run from a red light the other day involving a slight burnout. Now when I get it in reverse and back out , I hear a slight CLICKING/WINDING ( like winding a watch/toy ) on the right side. I run 315's ..... is something broken or am I just being paranoid?! Thanks ---

Make sure your diff has the correct amount of fluid in it (just to the top of the fill hole) and also that it has enough posi additive in it. I wouldn't rule out damage, but those are the things to check first. Before you plan on tearing into it, go to the dealer and buy a bottle of posi additive. I think it's only about a 4oz bottle. Squeeze it in there and drive it around for a bit, then do your reverse thing and see if it still pops.

GREAT IDEA, I had my fluid changed at VALVOLINE EXPRESS 20k miles ago and I doubt they put POSI fluid in there, thanks bro ---

Thats probably it. Those places usually don't add the additive. A buddy of mine did the Jiffy Lube and no additive. A little while later "pop pop pop".. I had him add the additive and all gone.

That's just your car winding up.
