i took my car off a jump the other day and ever sence then it has been making a crack-a-ly sound when ever i get on the brakes and alos when i have it on a stand and spin one wheel the other one spins at first but wheni reverse it it dosnt move??? does anyone have any sugestions???
 
Could be your diffs need shimming, not too hard to do and you should check this before you do anymore major damage, if it just needs shimming it's a cheap and quick fix.
 
Put a few, however many it takes, washers behind the diff gears to provide a better, tighter mesh between the gears. It helps to prevent them from stripping.

Although it sounds to me like you stripped them. Mine made that Crackaly sound when I used the breaks. I took it apart and found them to be stripped. I suggest you do the 4-Spider mod to prevent this from happening again.
 
does anyone have a link to the 4-spider mod???
