Not the kind that make my 2 year old little girl giggle, but clunking from the diff of my stock 10 bolt.
I noticed it after my track day last week. I'll try to get a video of it tonight. If I have the engine off and let the car roll backwards down my driveway, I hear clunking. Probably not supposed to do that, huh? I did get some nasty axle hop a couple of times, I know that's hard on it. If it's bad, I have a stock axle off my 99 parts car. I just need to swap the brake lines and brakes over. I believe that's the only difference. |

A good clutch type LSD is always better than a Torsen. A dead clutch type LSD is similar to a Torsen (depending how dead it is). You'll need shims and all and typically you'll have to have the rear end set up with the current gears on the new diff. It's not really a drop in (in most cases). Sometimes you get lucky, many times you don't.
