Clicking noise-acceleration

I just changed my axles, R&L Put everything back together, took it for the test drive. Whenever I accelerated above 30 Their would be a faint clicking noise from Passenger side. no noise when cruising at any speed. just whenever I started to accelerate. Anybody know what it is??

I can't hear it all the time, but it does seem to be worse when coming out of a corner, Sometimes you can still hear it when just driving straight. I just changed the axles. so unless they are bad. it shouldn't be that. Is their something I might have messed up on the install??

If you have a MT check your MT oil level. Low MT oil will cause the clicking noise that you are describing. Bad CV joints will also cause the noise as well.

I drove it around for a hour or so today, and it sounds like metal rubbing. like the sound of brake pads when they get low. not as high pitched. A buddy of mine said its prob just newness, could that be???
