In Corvette Magazine again
Back in june they printed a response I wrote to the Tech Nerd about the clicking sound from the rear and in the Dec!! issue on page 16 in a letter from Mark Wilkinson he thanks me by name because that info helped with his C5 Z06
Surprise
If I had known that it would have been used to fix a C5 especially a Z06 I never would have written it cause we all know what snobs and how ugly their cars are

Seriously though.
What is the clicking noise?
My 1988 corvette makes clicking noises from the rear end and I can't find where it comes from.
When I put my corvette on jack stands and crawl under the car and roll the rear wheels, it doesn't ever make the noise.
I even used a "mechanics stethascope"; those are really cool, to listen to the rear end, u-joint, wheel bearing, anything I could think of that would make the noise. When I am under the car it does not make the poping noise.
I have checked several times. I suspected the u-joints and wheel bearings. I changed all the u-joints and one wheel bearing. To expensive to change the other wheel bearing if its not broke. Still makes the poping noise.
I have put at least 7 or 8 thousand miles on it, so I figure it should have gone out by now if it is going to.

Steady, James. You'll give us Z owners a bad name.
