Default rear end ticking noise (I need help)

so i even sense i did the 3.73's cobra diff and 31 spline axles when i drive it i hear this ticking noise coming from the rear end i dont know what it is it slows down as i slow down and speeds up as i speed up when i replaced the brakes it went away untill i came to two stops then came back i am thinking maybe my e-brake having tenison on the rotor maybe but would this make this noise?

Not really. The only thing that would do would be make a squealing noise because your pads are contacting your rotors constantly and therefore warping your breaks and wearing your pads out prematurely. Have you tried jacking the car up in the air and in neutral, turn the wheels to see if you can make the noise happen while youre not driving to try to pinpoint it???

just jacked the car up and i couldnt hear the noise while in gear i dont know what is going on i took the e-brake cable off just incase it was that its not the pads are hitting the rotor just a litle you can hear it rubbing but very little the pads are just brushing the rotor. there seems to be some slop when i turn the wheel by hand i can wiggle the wheel back and fourth before it really gets hard to turn is that right?

This is going to sound dumb but youre running sticky rubber on the back correct??? If so, check your rear tires for nails and stones that have embedded themselfs into one of your tires. That might cause a ticking noise.
