i am having a noise comming from my rear end i believe only when i go in reverse...not drive or nothing...any clues on this?
and sometimes when i turn my wheels really hard to the left or right i hear a whine...i know im not low on power steering fluid but what could this be also?

Something easy to check on the noise in the rear end would be the U-joints. Check those. You didnt describe the noise to good so I really dont know what to think.

crAzy95z28 Jun 13, 2004 12:28 PM

its like a popping noise........

Kryckter Jun 13, 2004 12:37 PM

Does it do it several times or just once. If it does it just once, it may be the U-joints. Several pops when backing up, you may need to take the rear diff cover off and look around, Something may be going out in the rear end.

dang, cuase i just had gears changed, cause my 1st set of 3.73's were stripped then i put in new 3.73s and now it didnt do it at 1st but now it is making that sound when in reverse....
so maybe back lash is set wrong? take it back and have them take a look...cause i hope i didnt strip my gears again!!!

Yeah, now that you mention you just had gears done, I would be taking it back to them and having them look at it.

No (or wrong) limited slip additive can make it make a ton of noise (snapping, popping, groaning) when backing and turning at the same time.

That's what I was gonna suggest :( So I guess I'll just second that... ;)

When I bought my Z I got $500 taken off the price for the popping sound in the rear. Changed the fluid and put in additive and voila 15 nitto DR lanuches on the track pulling a 1.7 60' :D

my car has always made a very faint popping when turning in reverse... I always figured it was the limited slip and was normal.
