What is this after, changing TC/diff oil?????

Ive noticed that when i turn right, or left from dead stop, going 5mph+ and sharp turn, its making odd noise, like tire is rubbing, or i got flat/low tire pressure, from front, its not clunking noise, i got stock wheels. The car is still on snow tires and aftermarket springs,.
I changed the oil few days ago, i did search on it, and it looks some people get this rubbing/noise after changing oil...

Should i re-check the oil level? maybe iam low after chaning it? My TC is going bad? any ideas? thanks.

I am going to asume from the extensive list of modifications that you are relativley evo savvy and did'nt put gear oil in your TC/diff. Just making sure. The diff will whine when turning and cold with improper fluid!

well, I used Redline everywhere, its not whining, so its not rear diff.

Heavy red line in rear and tc, and lightweight in my trans.

I will go now and check the level of the TC and raise the car in front from both sides
and spin the tires and see if the other tire spins free, if it get stuck that means tc is going bad.

Everyone said that TC oil MUST be the diaqueen and it IS NOT the same oil (ie redline) in the TC.

Otherwise, my stock car rubs when I corner/slow down hard, there is very little clearence in that wheel well. BTW: the reason why is I put the mud flaps on and it is closer by that few mm's.

Doh!

diaqueen ONLY in the TC. You can do other fluids, but you take your chances.
