Noise Acceptability

A gear driven unit will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and may be audible at certain speeds or under various driving conditions such as a newly paved blacktop road. Slight noise is not detrimental to operation of the rear axle and must be considered normal.

With the Traction-Lok Limited Slip differential axle, slight chatter noise on slow turns after extended highway driving is considered acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking axle function
