Default Rear end made a loud pop...

And now my car is pulling to the left a little bit, and it has wheel hop when I'm turning to the right. When I turn to the left, I hear the same loud pop. What the hell is that? It's a T-Lok with 4.10s

I would say that it is a bad thing.

I had a buddy that knocked off all but 3 teeth on his ring gear. He drove it around.

Driving with broken spider gears is a no no.

Fix it before you cause more damage.

I want the cam and windstar upper lol

could also be a control arm bushing. when i had a solid rear in my car i had the steel sleve break loose from the rubber and clunk and make al kinda noise. first check the bushings the n pull the cover . spider gears are a walk in the park to replace .
