after a few half ass 360's, burnouts and 8's my rear-end started to make a sound like a broken cv joint. It was doing some great drifting and donuts but last night it would only do big circle burnouts instead of the usual smoky small circles?? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif It still burnsout with both wheels and drives straight but every time I turn it sounds like something is clicking. I jacked the rear up and turn wheels by hand forward and backward and both wheels turn simultanously with no noises. If a buddy holds one and i turn the other I get a loud screeching sound from the ends of the diff, no noises out the 3rd member though. I suspect the wheel bearings, wont know till I tear it down.............any suggestions or opinions.

you might have gotten the spiders too hot and they could've seized on the pinion shaft. Drain the diff and do a visual inspection
