Are my half shafts fubarred?
 

Every time I get going, there's a "clang" from the diff. My mechanic dove under the car and declared that my half shafts are going. Too much play.
Is he right? Is it possible for the half shafts to take a dive? Or is it my Torsen that's going?

Thanks!

will your mechanic pay for the half-shafts if he's wrong?

Lolz

So this clunk only happens once, when you first start rolling?

Correct. It only clangs after a stop.

If its when you apply load it could be your u-joint. They make a ping when they are going out.
