AWD popping under acceleration
I'm looking at buying my friend's GVR-4, and under hard acceleration in 2nd gear right after it hit full boost, the rear end started popping. I'm kinda curious to what could cause that! Rear Driveshaft or axles in the rear maybe? It doesn't seem to be coming from the front, and it is distinct popping not like a drum roll, but maybe 16th's or 8th's notes in succession on a snare drum. It never happens under normal everyday driving.
I searched some, but i didn't find anything similar to this problem as far as mod's K&N filter 2.5 downpipe and exhaust ported 14b MBC @ 15psi If it's got something wrong, i wanna make sure its fixed before i buy it. So can anyone help or kno what might be happening? i mean.. its a GVR-4 for sale, i'm not passing it up  thanks to those of you that help

Re: AWD popping under acceleration
The joints on on the driveshaft are going.

Re: AWD popping under acceleration
Or it could be the rear wheel bearings going bad.

 Oh yeah, hailed the last 2 days b/t the sizes of golfballs and baseballs, so it is gunna be even cheaper b/c of hail damage  ...i'll just dub it "dimples"he's selling it to me before anyone, cuz we've known each other so long, and i had my eyes on it first and helped him get it. I've just spent too much money on the eclipse and need a daily so i don't have to drive it. If i don't end up buying it i'll let you kno  oh and i can't imagine it is wheel bearings, it makes no other noise associated w/ that problem... so prolly a no go on that one
