Rear end groan

Hey folks I tried to search the forums but got a HTTP 500 error so I am posting a new thread.

When my car is cold and I pull out of my neighborhood slowly I hear a groan at the rear of the car. It is hard to explain the noise, but is does sound like a low pitch groan. Any ideas?

I don't think it is... but it doesn't hurt to try.

It will definitely fix your problem though.

45k mile service interval. My dealer says they cover it as long as your not at 45k yet.

I got diff fluid changed under warranty last week for groan. I've only done three cold starts since then and it still groans. They want me to put 500 miles on it before reporting back about groan.
