Default Loud crunch noise

Hey people! My AU2 XR6 Manual has started making a loud noise when i boot it hard : It tends to do it easier when im turning aswell. It does sound like its coming from the rear drivers side. I will get under it tomorrow to check it out and see if anything looks sus but i was wondering if any1 else has had this b4?

The car has only done 70k aswell!

Thanks

i get a loud cracking noise from the my au11 manual if i get up around 3500rpm and dump the clutch it make a horrible crack from under the car somewhere.

and if i gear down coming into corner eg put it in 2nd at 80klms it makes the same noise.

my solution is i will wait for it to break whatever it is then i will know what the noise was

Could be a number of things, do you feel the whole rear end banging? If so it could be axle tramp mine has done it (when provoked since new) but i've got it sorted now.

Ive got that exact same noise..
sounds more like your snapping a tooth on the diffgear or something lol..

but its definately from the rear under the car, i get it when i dump from anything over 3500rpm, or suddenly boot it around a corner.

I too would like to know what it is........
went into a diff place, nothing was found.. had suspension checked nothing was found.. still got that snapping sound...
