Hey guys, can you give me some input on whats going on here. My car has the kaaz LSD installed and has 100,000 mile axles still in it. Anyway, when i make real tight radius turns, i get this absurd clunking like something is skipping in the tranny. I can't tell if the diff is improperly adjusted or if my axles are just shot from wear. If i'm going in a straight line or gradual turns, nothing happens...drives like a champ. Parking lots are hell though. Any ideas?
 
would the cv joints only clunk when i was moving at slow speed?
 
dont know the full working of the cv joints but if they clunk when you turn they are going out. they will start to clunk going straight in time.

you might be able to pull them out and repack them. or just get remaned ones.
 
Clunking with a Kaaz is normal, the clutches are catching and releasing.
You may be able to reduce it with careful choice of oils and additives and break-in, but otherwise it will just continue. Just turn the stereo up.

Charles, Kaaz rear LSD.
