So my rear axle, Dana 44 with Detroit locker, has started giving me some grief. Its been making some pretty sketchy noises. One of the noises that I've had for a while now is a good ole clunking noise. It only happens when im going a relatively slow speed (sub 10mph) and making a fairly sharp turn, but never going straight. When I hear it, I also feel it too.

The next is very comparable to squeaking brakes, but it comes from the rear. This one has a pattern which varies directly with my speed. The faster I go, the faster the noise. This sound happens when I'm driving straight and when i turn.

The last one is similar to the first one I listed. Its a clunking noise that occurs when I'm driving straight. But I don't feel this one, only hear it. I heard this sound once a couple weeks ago, but it went away that same day.

Tomorrow I'll pop the cover and visually inspect it. I'll update y'all tomorrow once i do so. So what are some possible culprits of this problem?

 

Nothing?
