Sounds like the cv joint change the axle they're cheap, and if the noise is still there

it's probably the diff. good luck

Dogginator

Is it the stock helical LSD?

Have you put the car in the air and attempeted to make the noise by rotating the wheels by hand?

laziebun

its stock lsd and yes i put it in the air and no noise...i have it in third going 25mph and turning the wheel no noise. onloy does it with load.

Dogginator

99% chance it is the axle. Check the CV joints for slop.

laziebun

i hope so..... i check it for slop nothing. did you look at the video?

Dogginator

Yes. If it was the differential, it would make the noise all of the time when turning, shortly before it simply seized.

laziebun

i have my finger cross that it is my axle

laziebun

change the ale and that didnt fi it help

put both front wheels in the air and have 1 person hold one side and another try to turn the other side by hand, that'll usually show any dif problems. But that really sounds like a bad axle, maybe you pulled the cv joints apart?

laziebun

how is it possible to pull the cv joint apart? isnt that inpossible to do?

Dogginator

You can reduild them. The procedure is in the Helm manual.

If there is slop, you should be able to feel it. Raise one front wheel at a time, leave the transmission in gear, and rotate the raised wheel back and forth to observe any slop and where it is occuring.

Sounds like the same thing that my (we think) factory LSD tranny did when I first drove it

I ended up putting GM Synchromesh additive (2 small bottles) in with my tranny fluid and it stopped


Some LSD's are noisy... some are VERY noisy
