My Mustangs Rear-End was completly rebuilt by a Ford Dealer recently and there are problems.
When I have it on jack stands I can rotate one wheel from 12 o'clock to 2 o'clock before the other side engages, with a noticable clunk.
I think this is the same clunk i hear pulling away from a light, shifting, and short turns(Into a driveway for example).
The sound is inbetween a Clunk and a Click.

Any Ideas?

*The Car is going back in tomorrow under warranty/bring back.

Missing the rubber O ring that goes next to the "C" clip.

it could just be the basic driveline in the axle clunking together, that lil gap between the gearing of ford's imperfection

UPdate:
The wheels dont turn as much as a though before moving er side, it seems within tolerance like tomustang said. However I did notice that the passenger side axle has about 1/10" play while the drivers side is snug(~0.03"), from searching that seems normal as well? maybe I just need a synthetic fluid change< i noticed with my last gear set that really quited things down alot.
