Possible bad axles?
So long story short, got into a rear end accident back in april. Ever since I got the car back in June, there has been a weird clicking noise in the back right wheel of my car. At first I thought it was just my exhaust making a rattling noise with maybe something inside of the resonator, but now it has gotten way worse and only really happens under acceleration and deceleration at lower speeds. It also only happens when I am in gear and as soon as I throw it into neutral the clicking/rattling noises goes away. Clicking sometimes gets loud enough to the point where you can barely hear my exhaust. Just an example of how loud it gets.

Sounds like your axle nut got loose. On the side that's making noise... De-crimp the axle nut, and tighten it down to factory spec and then re-crimp the nut. If it's still making noise, then you may need an axle.

Will take a look when I have the time and update on what changes I see. Hopefully the rattling goes away. But if it does come to the point of needing new axles, any vendors our there selling good quality axles yet for the vehicle?

So apparently after lifting the car. The clicking is actually coming from the driveshaft. The support bearing towards the back of the driveshaft has a lot of play in it. Will i actually need a whole new driveshaft or are there any new supports that i can purchase?
