Default rear end noise???

Okay here it goes. 2 years ago I replaced the entire rear end. For the past 6 months I haven't really been driving the Vette due to the body work and interior replacement that I'm doing. Well, now to the point I took the Vette to a show (University & 595, for Ft. Lauderdaler people reading), on the way home I had this sticking noise coming from the right rear. It's seems like it might be the breaks sticking or a u-joint, but there were just replaced??? It sounds like something is about to break it's sounds that bad. Anyone have any thoughts????

Thanks in advance, Gordon :confused: :confused:

What did you have done? Rear bearings,joints,differential,bushings? Could be any of the above,also parking brake shoes hanging up. You have to jack it up and look it over.

Don't drive it anymore until you check it out. When the wheel departs the car, it usually takes the fender with it.

The differential and the parking break were not done, EVERYTHING else was (leafs, 1/2 shafts, yokes, t-arms, bearings etc. and it was done in a very good shop.
