Re: Grinding sound from rear end when turning

Is it a true "locker" or a spool?

They are known to make noises on turns depending on the application.

Re: Grinding sound from rear end when turning

Does it require any certain additives?

Re: Grinding sound from rear end when turning

I've heard that the Auburn's don't last as long as other types. The bad part is I don't think they are rebuildable. You might see if a mod will move this to 'Engine and drivetrain' for more replies and a better idea what's going on.
