[QUOTE="Alpine CDA-9815, post: 3413402, member: 552341"] In the last 6 months my rear end has got quite loud. I know with a limited slip it will will clunk and whine... but how much should it? I know of 3 other buds of mine with the same issue, they say it's normal but their cars are not near as bad as mine. It has always whined and clunked from the factory. Though since we installed the stage 5 ****** it has gotten worse and worse. The worst is usually when I go slow and turning hard. It will clunk and jerk everytime the driveshaft makes a full spin. It now also clunks and whines bad when I take my foot off the gas going 40+ MPH. Then the whine from 38-42MPH has gotten twice as loud. I changed the rear end fluid after getting 500 miles on the car to Royal Purple. I even added about an ounce of GM limited slip even though RP says it's not needed. I don't really have a lot of money to fix it and I don't want to pay to have someone look at it unless I have to, or start replacing parts that are not needed. The shop I usually go to just says not to worry about it... but they are lazy and just don't want to look at it. Other shops think it could be the clutch packs or it could be something wrong with my rear cradle. I'm wanting to take this thing to the track, I have not in over a year. The best I have done so far is 12.00 @ 115mph with a 1.9 60'. Since then I've added almost a full suspension, the stage 5 *****, electric water pump and nitrous (150-175 shot). I don't really abuse the car and I have gone through only one 10lb bottle of nitrous since I have gotten it @ 150 shot. [/QUOTE]
