Ok I got a 97 kouki se that needed rear subframe bushings I got Polly bushings to replace them and the diff bushings, also got circuit sports upper control arms and traction bars I pulled the sub frame and replaced all bushings, upper controll arms, traction arms and diff oil. it had alot of - camber i staightend out the wheels a bit with some + camber Mounted everything back up went for a spin and clack clack clack.... Back on the lift, the e brake cable had fell on the driveshaft put it back up went for a spin and clack clack clack.... Only does it under a load when throttle is being pressed when I let off the gas it quiets if I put it in neutral it clicks again. it sounds like its spinning the faster I go the faster it clicks! What could it be??? I pulled on cv axels no play it had a welded diff when i bought it so i figured the welds broke, pulled the diff they were cracked i rewelded um and welded a plate on them still clacking WTF!? I don't know what it could be I did a search found people had a similar noise but no answer what it was or how it could be fixed. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Ok adjusted the camber back negative they way it was and the noise is much quieter but still there I'm thinking an axel or the drive shaft might have been binding for some reason I'm going to check it out more tomorrow
