Cracking Sound from Rear at Movement

Postby zephyrus17 » Thu Apr 07, 2011 3:05 pm

I'm not sure if this is the differential or suspension, but it seems that when I start moving forwards, there'll be a loud cracking sound from the rear. Especially when I turn onto the suburb streets from my house (damn cambers are so steep). Doesn't matter when I'm moving straight or turning. I just replaced my diff oil two days ago and didn't see any metal shavings/parts on the drain plug. It seems (or maybe I just filter it out) that the sound disappears after driving for a while. What do you think it is?

Oh! Good point.. I guess the only way to get the PPF checked is to bring it to a mechanic?
