Ok, so maybe I'm an idiot and don't know much about my diff.
Last Summer I had to replace all of the little bolts that hold the clutch pack to the ring gear, because one bolt head had snapped off but didn't cause any visual damage other than cosmetic blemishes on the other bolt heads (which were replaced). When we put everything together I put in the GM positraction additive, and used Lucas differential fluid.
Fast forward to this spring, I've noticed that during hard acceleration I hear "clicking" coming from the rear of the car. It doesn't hammer at low speeds or around corners, it just "clicks" under hard acceleration. My u-joints are in great shape.
Does anyone know what this might be? BTW, I heard much louder "clicking" right before the bolt head snapped off last summer, thus my concern.
