Default LSD clunking at low speeds.......

Ok i have a 92' civic cx w/ b16, gsr tranny,and a kaaz lsd. My question is that when i bought the car the previous owner said the axles were bad from launching or something. well i took them out and they look fine so i looked up on the kaaz and found out that sometimes it binds up in sharp turns. Now is this the case for me or is it just the axles. It never clunks at like 30+ around turns just at low speeds. some info would be greatly appreciated.

I Have a Kaza in my 99 si tranny ... and umm.. it does the same thing.. its suppose to do what your feeling.

KAza is made to do what you are feeling.. that clicking in the diff is acting as a clutch... .. Its normal.. one tire has goes faster then the other when turning.. and the diff has to slip to allow that..

You will not feel it at high speeds..

As for the axels.. there fine.. it just seems like there bad and people try to tell you your **** is broke... Not the case at all..

completely normal on a kaaz. Use the kaaz fluids and it should get better but will not go away completely. Its a clutch type limited slip therefore the chattering noise your hear is the disks in the diff slippin to allow you to make a smooth turn.
