when i reverse sounds like the rear tires are rubing. i was woundering anyone else hears this. only 2500 miles on the car. could it be the rear end? or the brakes draging can be heard not pressing the brakes in reverse, the car is stock so i know the tires are not rubing, any thoughts?

It's probably your rearend. Although I never heard mine. But I don't drive fast in reverse either so idk.

Take car to dealer. Warranty. Don't dick around.

stock wheels? could be the parking brake cable rubbing the wheel. if it is your diff, you have problems

I hear the same in mine. Mostly in reverse when I turn the wheel. I thought it was a tire rub, but it sounds like its coming from the rear and nut the front.

Not all the time, but more often then not.

I heard grinding from my car's rear end during backing and sharp turns. Took it to the dealer and they changed the fluid under warranty. The invoice says they had to do it twice to get rid of the noise. Service was done at 3,200 miles and no grinding since.

I have the same issue on my 2SS RS Stock Wheels but mine happens when making a sharp left/right going slow while leaving my apt complex, happens sometimes in reverse. Its not constant but consistent enough to be annoying. I want to take to the dealer ship but afraid i cant duplicate it when im there.

if you are turning than it is much more minor. the diff has alot of moving parts with the Limited Slip. and you couldnt replicate it because when the diff fluid warms up it works better. the drive to the dealer warmed it up. if your diff is grinding while backing up straight, you have an issue.

Yeah I hear more when I'm turning in reverse maybe bad axel

I just read some GM info and they have several issues around this. The fix used the most was the changing of the rear end fluid and putting in an additive. According to the posted info from GM, more often then not, that fixed the problem. Next stop, the dealer.

Cody6.2 · 06-19-2012, 07:25 PM

My Camaro does this going up inclines while turning as did my C6. On the C6 they had a TSB that said to change the fluid. In most cases it's just chatter from the differential and I'd rather have a tight diff than a over additived loose one.

2xSSRS · 06-19-2012, 07:32 PM

Well, I won't be going 100 in reverse, so I'm thinking I might just let it go. For now. Unless it starts to get louder or happen more often. I agree with you Cody.

camaroimpalabob · 06-19-2012, 07:40 PM

I'm gonna take to the dealer but I don't see how there could be a problem with fluid.
