hopefully not the differential.. are those pretty pricy? guna have to look it up.. im guna just have to throw it up on a jack and have me n my dad scope it.. but thanks thats a reasonable cause for it... hopefully not but it seems like it would be it... it makes the sound when im just cruisin it at 5-10mph not braking or gassin it... just letting it roll... ionoooo shyt suxxx but i can control the sound some timess.. by the way i drive.. late braking and always gassin it

they arent usually cheap. but that might not be the problem. look under it forst move some stuff around see if you can locate where exactly the noise is comming from.

i got new brake pads a couple days ago.. but im thinking it has nothing to do with the calipers because it makes the sounds after i let go of the gas at 5 or 10 mph.. still making the sound around 15....... not putting force on brake or gas... and it sjusst making a click.. clickkkkk clickk!!! clickk!!! sound aghhh..

If it's a click-click-click sound, I'd be looking at your CV joints of the rear axles. Make sure none of the boots are torn. A dry joint, that will start to wear down, can make that sound after a while.
