a new clicking coming from my diff area
hello cl, i have a 93 sc300 wit h a welded diff, and its been running fine.
recently a CV joint started to click and i know i need to replace that, but more recently, i started hearing a sound that i can only describe as a card in a bike spoke...or vibration, but ONLY when my car is in gear and im not on the gas, or if im braking (in gear or not)
so only have a few questions.
1. fixing a cv joint, should i just replace the whole axle? would a sc400 axle fit? (note that im not sure if replacing the axle will fix the cv joint, an employee at monument car parts said thats the easier way to fix it, so im going with his word that this is what i should do)
2. anybody havee any idea what this clicking could be??
going to jack up my car now and try pushing the axles around, see if theres anything not normal going on back there.

okay, before i get a new drive shaft, im going to start by replacing the axle, the cv joint could be in just REALLY bad shape, i think ive read that the sc400 axle fits in the sc300, and is a bit bigger (im drifting so might as well go with bigger)
any input here?

i suppose it could be the diff bushings, im going to try those first...being a 93, it wouldnt hurt to update regardless.
not saying its not my drive shaft but im not convinced it is

wow, im sorry i never called an axle a half shaft, and thought you meant my drive shaft.
im planning to get one tomorrow.
thanks.
is the install difficult? i know how to get it loose from the diff but idk about from the other side.
any input/ thanks.

so i just replaced the axle and the clicking sound from the diff is continuing, im thinking i may need to drain and refill my diff. seeing as its welded, maybe some of the welds have broken and a tiny little piece of metal is just bouncing around?
idk im really out of ideas. at the moment
