Rear end popping while backing up incline

while backing up my driveway my front tires get cought on the lip of the sidewalk, so I have to give it a little more gas to get the front tires over the lip, when I do that I keep getting a popping noise out of the rear end. Could this be the anti slip locking in? Any comments?

A properly working anti slip shouldn't make any noise at all. I'd check the fluid level in the rear end. It should be right at or a 1/4" below the fill plug.

Take the service mgr for a ride and demonstrate the noise for him. Sounds like you've already determined how to make the noise. Could it be something loose in the suspension instead of the pinion?

I have the exact same problem, but I can't get it to make the noise whenever I want, it only happens randomly when I give it a lot of gas backing up. I've already tightened all the rear suspension bolts excepts for the upper shocks mounts. It's definately not coming from inside the diffo.
