Hi all
Ive got au2 xr8 with irs making a really bad chattering noise. Ive just changed the diff oil and going by the castrol website It recommends 80w 140 oil to replace it. Ive used 75w 140 and a diff additive also. I tried it with nulon g70 additive. It was making the noise even without the additive too. Any suggestions on what oil or additive to use? Cheers |

more than likely if its chattering with no mater what additive you use, I would say the lsd cone are warn and have bottomed out in the hemisphere and needs rebuilding..

I dont think its that. It was ok on saturday morning and changed the oil at work and now its chattering and clunking. I know VZ commodores need a additive for the same thing. Ive never seen a solid axle do this with a oil change but several irs diffs in holdens do.

Our local Ford dealership has had good success fixing most noisy LSDs with Redline Synthetic:
http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=37&pcid=4 It's all I use i both my XR6s, before and after diff rebuilds, and have never had a problem. Alternatively, you can add just the friction modifier to your existing diff oil: http://www.redlineoil.com/product.aspx?pid=41&pcid=4 Here is their Australian office: http://www.redlineoil.com.au/home.asp
