vibration when turning

[rdodd]

I notice lately than when i turn left or right i can feel a little vibration like i'm going over small speed bumps. Could this be the limited slip from the rearend or could something else cause it? I recently changed the rearend fluid with 80-90 and added about 8 oz snake oil but no change. Also i inspected the rearend when changing fluid and everything looked fine. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Might need a bit more "snake oil". The best way to do it is to add about 1 oz. at a time till she stops dancin' through the turns.

I agree

Concur - I think my 93 is beginning to have the same issue. Time to pull the cover and have a look, replace fluid, and add that incredibly smelly friction modifier (reducer).

Could be wheel bearings, front or rear. When did you last repack them? I try to do mine at least once a year.



Now on to the LSD. In my limited experience with them, by the time you get some vibration or grab around corners, it is too late- you need clutches. Fortunately, they arent too bad to do. Pop the carrier out by the method of your choice, take an impact to the bolts holding the halves together, and replace the clutches according to the directions. Put it all back together. I always add two doses of snake oil just to make sure it doesnt slip. If you put in synthetic, you might get away with just one bottle.
