diff is making a humming noise :(
Last night a buddy and I swapped in a gxl lsd with mmr solid mounts. We bolted it up, filled with Lucas 80w90 gear oil for lsd's, and took it for a drive...
it makes a whining/humming noise all the time. whether on acceleration or cruise or deceleration. It's definitely not a wheel bearing, we put it back in the air to check that. The noise seems to be coming from the diff itself
So could i just have bought a bad diff? Incorrect contact between pinion and ring gear maybe? Backlash doesn't seem too tight or too loose....
