i have a loaner 2007. when i drive in 1st or 2nd (stick shif) at low revs as i transition from on the gas to off, or vice versa, i can hear a click in the rear. sounds like a cv joint. anyone experience this?

A few things to check; rear sway bar monunting bolts.

Broken shock mount.

The support springs for the x-pipe in the exhaust; push it up and down and listen for the noice.

Most likeley the rear axle nuts. There is a castle nut with washer that needs to be torqued.

no castle nuts. just nuts. loose nuts. i took um off with the short ratchet, like 12 inches long. i put um back on with a 3/4 inch ratchet and a helper bar with locktite. i hope the splines didnt take too much of a beating. i will need to monitor these things.
