noise from rear hilux diff/drive shaft!!!!

Post by Kingston_99 »

i have a noise coming from the rear of my lux. i think it is from the rear diff cuase if i start in a striaght line it doesnt make any noise, but if i start of turning it makes a clicking/knock noise. it has a stock LSD. just recently changed the diff oil as well.

should i be worried? as im going for a long drive to my new town in 3 weeks
