clicking rear and e-brake

[jophis37]

No air in the brake system, so we're good there. The clicking started happening before the brake install. I'll jack it back up this weekend and see what I can figure out. Thanks guys

See if you can pin point the side it is coming from by driving near a wall or something. Is it a light click or a major clunk.

It diff comes from the passenger side. It's not a clunk at all. It sounds similar to the sound you would imagine a socket would make as it rolls from the front of a small plastic tool box to the rear of the tool box. I say that because I keep a small tool kit w/ me just incase something minor happens when I'm out racing. And at first I thought that might be it, but after removing the tool box I realized it wasn't. It's just a small single click that happens the first time you pull out in a forward or a backward motion. Only one time when I took a right turn did it actually click after already being in motion and it click a few times as I completed the turn. It didn't do it again, and almost always does it when I backout of the garage and again when I start out going forward.

The clicking sounds like a possible CV problem. I know that the joints in the Cobras are supposed to be stout (one would figure), but anything can/will break.

How could I tell if the cv joints are going/are bad?

Car has 10300 miles. Not that it matters, you could brake something driving off the lot if you really wanted to.

Do you hear the noise while turning only?
Only when loading or unloading the drive train?
Or is it all the time?

Okay, so who can tell me how to get the e- brake spring back on?

Also, I took the wheels off, and removed the brakes so they wouldn't give a resistance while turning the rear axles. I don't hear any clicking or feel any play while turning the wheels.

I only hear the noise/clicking when I first roll forward or roll backward from a dead stop. It's one click and then it goes away. I only heard it click more than once, one time, and that was during a right turn, it actually clicked like 2-3 times. But was fine after that, and then didn't do it again, even when I tried to make it happen. But if I back out of my garage it will happen, then when I pull forward on the street it will happen.

Back to the e-brake spring, I went to Autozone to see if they sell a tool to compress the spring but they said that it's easier to just buy new calipers. Does anyone know the secret to getting these back on?
