So for the last couple of weeks now, when I take any kind of turn at low speed, some part of my rear axle sounds like a dying see lion. Seems like it's coming from the left rear side. Kind of a deep warbling groan that oscillates as the turn is made. I have no idea what this might be.
The rear diff is an LSD, and it has plenty of oil in it. I don't use friction modifier in it because I really don't care if the LSD part works or not, it's fine open for my purposes. I thought it might be the clutch packs in the rear, but if so I don't know if that could cause long term damage or not, or if it will just continue to make noise.
Any ideas what this might be, and how quickly should I get it addressed? I'd hate to have my rear axle speed by me down the highway in the near future.
