Default How sloppy is your rear end?

I get the 'clunk' at low speeds when getting on and off the gas in 2nd and 3rd gears. Is this normal with our cars or is mine just extra sloppy in the differential?

Have you swapped your driveshaft? If not, it's possible your mistaking the stock two piece driveshaft being clunky for the differential.

That could be it I guess. I only have 1500 miles on the car.

I had that long ago, until I swapped out my drive shaft for a one piece.

+5 on the driveshaft. My car does it a lot with the stock driveshaft. Sometimes people install aftermarket control arms and they think the control arms are clunking, but in reality they're just feeling the driveshaft clunk more through the stiffer control arm bushings. There's no harm in the clunk, but it is noticeable.

You should really think more carefully about how you title your threads.
