true blue Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I just noticed a new noise from what i think is my Rear End ?? it's only noticable when your are going slow and make a turn at a stop sign.... (What i have is a stock 10 bolt rear converted to a possi with 3.36 Auburn and about 2000 miles since install) I've checked the fluid level and all is ok. its a grey color now but was originaly a purple i think it was call Castrol Royal Purple Syntethic. It's only on the turn that it makes this noise and what it sounds like is a Electric Brake on a Trailer grabbing any ideas ? should i change the oil ? Maybe i'm parenoid but i don't seem to get the inside wheel drag on a turn like it use to do when new but maybe thats just my mind playing games because it still locks up when you burn the tires ??? Thanks in advance..... TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckeng Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It could just be that you are hearing the cones turn against eachother, which is how that unit works. I say find a parking lot and do some short figure eights and listen to it. Might be normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 72yellowmc Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 if your fluid turned from purple to grey then it sounds like you have some metal shavings in your fluid, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ADGTRUNKLID Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If it is an axle bearing and it makes noise on a right turn it is your left axle bearing and Vise versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex's72fgmc Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 did you add the posi additive to the rear end? this may be whats causing it. also it could be your wheel bearings doing the same thing. take the wheel and brake drum off and lif up and down on the axle shaft if it moves more than a 16th of an inch this could do it as well but you would notice vibration from the rear of the car while driving. or a brake shoe retainer spring and clip have broke off and is catching on the shoe causeing the same noise.
