Clicking noise in rear driveshaft?

[lopedogg]

I have a 15 3.8 awd and was re-torquing my tires when i noticed a clicking noise when i rock it back and forth. it appears to come from the rear driveshaft when it changes direction. Not sure if its normal on these cars or needs more investigation. No problems when driving.

It'll be the slack taking up in the pinion gear. It's normal to some extent, but once it gets bad enough to hear when the car is changing gears it's probably time to fix it.

Thanks, ya the car only has 30K kms on it so i was thinking something like that can't have been be worn out that fast. I mean my truck has a click when i rock it back and forth but it is a 1978. Never heard it on a newer car before.
