| Post subject: | Help Rear Diff. Clicking |
I had the 4.10's put in. The back one is a unused set purchased 2nd. hand. The guy that installed it said it looked absolutely perfect when installed. But, it clicks when slowing down. But only when you hit 20mph and down to 10mph. It doesn't make any noise when taking off. He thinks it's the pinon but doesn't know why it's doing it. He called tech support where he got the install kit but it was too late in the evening and they were gone. I have to take it back tomorrow. Hopefully the support guys will have an idea. Everything is set to specs. The 2 gears are meshing together correctly also. Does anyone know what is going on? Terry |

I drove 395 miles, one way, and 2 days of trail riding. Then the 395 miles back home. The clicking noise is still there just the same as before. No better, no worse. There also wasn't anything laying in the bottom the differential. The one unknown is the brand of gears I put back there. One thing should be made clear. The guy at Aggressive Off Road is very, very picking about his work. Just in case the spec sheet was wrong he called a Chrysler Dealer to verify he had the correct specs. He did. The gears are hitting correctly (meshing), right on the money. Still the noise. It's just an irritating thing is all. Terry |

Don't know why its clicking but does it do it when the vehicle is jacked up and the wheels are free to spin? You said it does it when you slow down and not when you accelerate. When you slow down perhaps compression braking is occuring. Try shifting into neutral when you slow down and see if it still clicks. Also, when you brake weight is shifted to the front of the vehicle. Could your tires be rubbing the fenders? Another possibility - did you check your rear brakes? Try braking just using compression braking and no brakes and see if it still does it. And if all that doesn't come up with anything you need to send both of those 4.10 gears to me for further analysis.

E......And if all that doesn't come up with anything you need to send both of those 4.10 gears to me for further analysis. A. We tried that and it still made the clicking B. No rubbing C. The rear brakes are new & ok. The front brakes are ok also. D. Tried that also. Same thing. The only times it doesn't make the clicking is when speeding up or holding speed. E. Good try!
