Hi all. I have searched for some info on this problem but can't seem to find a common answer, so I thought I would ask the question.
My son has a '99 VT S Sedan. There is a horrid clunking coming from the rear end or maybe the drive train. It is at it's worst when slow reversing i.e. backing out of the drive, but happens mostly under these circumstances: in reverse, taking off from a standstill and when cornering at lower speeds say up to about 60kmh. Problem is worse when the car is warmed up and/or in hot weather.
He has recently had the bearings done ($500?) but the noise started after this. From what I can gather, the diff guy reckons it's something else.
I haven't been under it yet and don't know whether it's a LSD or not, but thought I would try and get some info here before I dive in. I have to admit, if it's actually the diff it seems simpler to just replace it with another used unit, rather than mess around. If that is the case, what diffs will bolt straight up?
Would appreciate any help guys, thanks....
