After 7 week got car back from Chrysler after final getting recall work completed.Driving the car home i wcould hear a slight clicking comeing from a wheel,later that night took out car to bed in stopstech brakes(handbrake still won,t work?)after doing this noice getting a bit louder increases with speed,drove home slowly and checked all wheels(removed) and brakes in morning for anything loose,but nothing found?Took car for a very short trip(1-2 miles around town) this morning to see if i could work out where clicking noise was coming from,got about 1/4 mile up the road and gave it a squirt of power in 2 gear and as i came of the power the clicking started to turn into a rumble from the rear end,as i drove very slowly back home(5mph hazards on)the noise grew from rumble to a very metalic clanking/rattling/grinding from under diff.Got car home and into garage,if i put it in 1 gear and rock it i can hear loose rattley sound?Very upset and gutted,any ideas on what it could be?and would it be possible that Chrysler put diff back incorectly when they did mods and caused this trouble.Had a look undercar and drive joints look ok?Not looking like we will have Viper at Avon Park.Hope my Viper friends can help in my moment of need!Please!

What work did you have done? Is it a diff replacement, if it is has it been shimmed up ok. i take it they have filled the diff up with oil, i know it is silly but somebody in the drag racing world built up a diff and did not fill it up because he forgot.
