  1. the diff doesnt just work when you are turning. if you accel hard, the diff will tr to preven the one whell with the least amont of traction from spinning out of control as it would in a non-limied slip diff. the sound is could be the clutches slipping allittle and heating up while transfering power. it also could be the whole diff housing twisting under power, ot maybe the rear u-join on the drive shaft twisting. we know its happening under power only so its not the suspension. its somewhere in the rear of the drivetrain.

     

     

    Yeah.. I hear ya. Mine doesn't make any noise at any other time, however... even when turning. Only at higher RPM under load.

     

    I would guess that you are right with the thought of it being the diff housing rolling upward... Maybe it's hitting the pinion nose snubber or bumpstops.. and tranfering noise/vibration into the cabin through the floor.

  2. I know ... I'm saying I get that sound in my car now (current temp at lunch: 17*) and I used to get the same sound in my RS when it was still colder (below 0*) while in turns. Same sound, same weather conditions, only difference was I needed a turn in the RS to make the diff "work"

     

    I know which sound you're talking about ... been getting it the last couple days with this weather, and I'm saying I got the same sound under similar but slightly different conditions in my RS.

     

    Oh... I understand.... sorry. :wub:

  3. When I accelerate HARD in 1st or 2nd gear... at around 4,000 RPM and up, I get a growling noise from the back...

     

    I originally thought it was maybe the tires slipping / grabbing for grip... or the exhaust hitting the swaybar during squat (I am lowered 1") ...

    Then I was thinking that maybe it is my center differential spinning. I have no other drivability problems... no vibrations... no other noises.....

     

    What is the symptoms of a center differential being overwhelmed by torque?

    Does anyone else seem to have this problem?

     

    Again... it is only under hard acceleration at higher RPM's. It really sounds like it is coming from the back.
