I just got my 06 mr, and I have an issue that if I take a hard turn, and the rear diff kicks in, when I come to a stop and start out, the rear end makes a clicking noise and the sound increases with speed then goes away. My thought is the rear diff isn't dissengaging. I dont know if its normal, and it only happens sometimes. My 03 didn't do this, but the diffs are different. My car only has 400 miles on it, in my 03 the diff was low on oil, that could be it aswell???? ITs strange it just comes and goes. could my rear diff be messed up?

 

bump

 

What about slow sharp turns.. is the car skipping and skidding?

 

not that I have noticed, but like I said it only has 400 miles on it and I haven't got to drive it much. It's deffinatly coming from the rear end, but only sometimes.

 

Never heard any clicking on my '05.

 

I don't get any sound like that from my diff

 

well, Guess, I'll have to go to the stealership to have them look at it. I just hope it does it when its there.

 

anyone else experence this?

 

Seems like alot of rear diff clicking problems lately. Wondering if its because dealers are not topping off the fluid levels during inspection.

Anyway, my '05 did this after the mistakenly replaced the rear diff. I only got this noise after the car was good and warmed up and it only occured at low speeds when turning. I did feel the back end skipping/jumping a little bit, but it was pretty difficult to tell.

My original rear diff was put back in and no problems.

Good luck. Keep us posted when you find out what it is.

 

I get clicking out of my rear diff in my 06 rs sometimes .. usually when it is cold and I go into reverse then back to moving forward... nothing that worries me too much...

 

No sounds from my 06. Wierd.

 

My 06 MR is making that sound, I ordered a shop manual CD from Helm,Inc. I plan on changing my rear diff fluid when I figure out the procedure and correct fluid type.

 

humm, I"m hoping its just th fluid. Whats mitsu have in there fluid wise?? is it the diaqueen??
