Clicking noise in rear end on take off-sounds like fWD CV joint

when I take off I get this one "click", exactly like the click of a CV joint in a Front wheel drive when they start to go bad. Something to worry about?

When my 86 NA did that it was the rear joint in the driveshaft binding. One LOUD click taking off from a stop.

I also had the same -more or less- problem when I first got my Rex. A single "click" when launching or when cornering. Turns out my WHOLE ******* FRONT SYSTEM was "on the air". Everything needed re-tightening

Front suspension? I get EXACTLY what your describing in the rear, but I've tighened everything down twice-over and it doesn't help.
