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. |

The thing with Torsen is that they essentially work by internal friction, and after X miles simply wear out because the metal wears down. Then you replace them. (Someone correct me if that's wrong, but that's what i understood). Other units have clutch discs to replace, the gears and stuff don't wear down.
