About a month ago I did a full z32 brake swap including e-brakes. Since then I have had this weird ticking coming from the rear driver side whenever I make a turn (I notice it most when making a wide left turn coming from my home every morning). I check that everything was tight and still getting the ticking. It sounds like a damn woodpecker is trapped in the rear of my car lol. Anybody else experience this? I was thinking wheel bearing but I had the car inspected and the only bearing that is bad is the front driver side.
Additional info if it matter.... Car is lowered on megans and had a j30 differential swapped in by previous owner.

It sounds like of the front bearings are bad. Since the noise is only coming when you turn.

With the exception of the S13 VLSD they all have bushings in the diff ears. Chances are that it is worn out so you can replace them with solid ones.
Also when installing a non-S13 VLSD you should use the J30 "diff ear" bolts since they are slightly longer than the S13 ones.
So check if you have the correct bolts and tighten them down.

My bad this is a s14 lol my poor s13 was flooded. But I will definitely check the rear end again. Thank you for the input guys
