I broke my rear diff! The car still runs and drives fine, it just makes a clicking banging noise when I make a turn ( left or right )
I love to dig race and roll race and I somewhat daily the car. I have a 2014 track pack 17k miles. What do I do now? What parts to install. I know nothing about rear diffs all help is appreciated thanks.

If you can’t find an interested Toyota dealer, call Strange and order a bolt in 9” rear.
You will be money ahead in the long run.
Buy once, cry once.
The 8.8” won’t last if you really race the car regularly.
We swapped it out on my lift in only a few hours, a true bolt in.
Good luck.

Deff in cases like this, just take it to a shop to rebuild the rear. It doesn't sound like you have much mechanical background from your posts. No offense.
Either you can buy the parts and give to them as a whole or let them diagnose it first.
Ditto on the beefier 9" rear as well. You gonna spend some money on the 8.8 and gonna find that it can only take soo much abuse if you are running it hard on big tire and lots of power.

Just gotta determine how serious you are about racing to determine next steps.
