Yesterday while idling I was hearing a tick tick sound coming from the rear, not loud but still noticeable. Today I got the car off the ground using my quickjack. With the engine on and car in park everything sounded normal. When I put the car in drive, both wheels started spinning but the drivers stop shortly after, the passenger side continued spinning and the tick can be heard maybe from the axle.

What you guys think this is? Car drives fine otherwise.

TIA

Also can anyone recommend a mechanic in MD? Getting tired of wrenching

 

Normally the right rear drives the car in an open differential. That is why one will see the right rear tire wear faster than the left rear.
You said ticking while idling but you are testing with the wheels spinning? Do you mean idling and rolling?

 

Yeah I saw that explained in the video I posted. The ticking is when it's rolling and it is very faint. Actually my son has been driving the car lately so I'll ask him again about the ticking when he gets hope tonight.

 

Actually the ticking can also be heard when statnding still. I move the car from one side of the driveway to the other side this morning,
