OEM LSD Question

[heshan]

Guys,

Since recently my car's diff has been very loud.

I recently took it out from the mechanics after a major upgrade and I was promised that the sound is to be expected with a LSD diff.

However, I cannot remember it being this loud and clunky.

Its makes a loud clunks when going on 1st around 10-20kmph and I turn my steering even around 10 degrees. If the steering is straight-no issues.

I'm wondering whether my mechanic has reduced play in my diff making if lock up with no forgiveness or is my diff finally feeling its age and about to die?

I got a second opinion and I was promised that this sound is OK however its very loud and in crowded areas heads turn but for the wrong reason when I'm taking a slow corner

The 2nd mechanic took the diff out and I personally saw it as well and from the outside it looked in very good condition.

Also I replaced by axle bearings and razors around 2 weeks ago and that reduced the massive hum that was there in my car however the diff noise didn't reduce at all.

Any help will be much appreciated.

This is my car through a good lens;

One more thing, I can't remember my diff being loud when reversing however, now it jumps and clunks when on a very slow reversings as well.

One last bit of info;

I was told to use SAE90 transmission oil on my diff. It may be due to this. I was recommended to change this to 85w140 to reduce the noise.

I'm planning to test this out unless I hear otherwise from you.
