I've been noticing a ratcheting noise from the rear end when turning, only audible with the windows down. This was concerning, since I have a stock rear end with the OEM LSD. Also, since I just got my 3.92 gears and planned to install them today...

One of the spider gears cracked a tooth. Rotating the spiders by hand produces an audible click as the chipped tooth meshes with the side gears.
