If its a V6 and auto it would have a open diff and therefor no clutch pack in the rear diff correct?

On colder days, when I'm puttering around town... At lower speeds on neighborhood streets, or in a parking lot... There is sometimes a knocking sound from the rear.

It goes: Knock....... Knock...... Knock.Knock.Knock.Knock.Knock.Knock.Knock.

It's always the 2-3 inital knocks, followed by a series of 6-10 quick repetitive knocks.

Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hey man I had the same issue as u can see in my post. I took it to the dealer yesterday and here is what was wrong with mine. From what the dealer said it was the 4th 2013 come in with the same issue. 2 manuals and 2 autos. The fix was the same for all of them. It appears that the studs are prematurely failing causing the threads to wear n the lug nuts backing themselves off. When they put it on the lift the driver rear tire fell off.(thank god it didn't happen n the highway) one of the studs broke completely off. Keep in mind I had the car for a month now and have never taken the tire out, swapped them etc. It was a Safety issue so they were quick to replace the studs, lug nuts and locks on all four wheels. I am going in on Monday to get a new rim since it damaged the inserts. All under warranty. I'm not saying this is what is going on with your camaro or saying that there is a recall TSB etc, just sharing what happened with mine. I would suggest checking t out and if you see something wrong take it in. good luck. See Below for broken stud. hope this helps.
