Default Differential Problem

My car was Vortech super charged a few months ago,

and I'm starting to hear click noise from the rear end.

I'm guessing somewhere in the rear end is broken.


How can i solve this problem? i think a oem diff will cause the same problem after a while.

Who sells reinforced differentials??

It may not be your diff at all, sounds like axle nuts or a wheel bearing. Have the car looked at first before spending money on something you don't need

If you do end up needing to replace the rear diff, you do have a few choices

HTG

Or InLinePro

My self

We can all be found here on this sight, good luck

Please read the above advice or do a search on axle nut/wheel bearing symptoms.

if you don't feel a difference and it's just a sound, it's most likely the common axle nut pop.

Does it make a single click when starting out in first gear? I have a single click noise which I believe is the axle nut needing to be re torqued.
