Z28 Diff Noise and Behavior
Have some questions for you Z28 Boys.Thanks in advance for the info.
I finally installed(myself) the used Z28 differential I bought along with the following; Z28 Rear Knuckles, Z28 Wheel Hubs/Bearings,Z28 Trailing Arms, and Derlin Off-set Differential bushings. I now have all these new noises and I am apprehensive everything is going to blow up.
My question is how noisy is this diff? I don't notice any howling or drone from the bushings or gears. I do notice it clunks a little differently than my old diff. At certain times a get a little clunk when putting it into 1st gear or running through the gears with the clutch in.
The behavior is somewhat the same. Better make sure you are pointed in the direction you want to go because this thing grips and turns. The one thing I have noticed is when making a hard left turn from a stop or going slow, seems like the left rear tire kind of chatters like it is fighting for traction, old diff didn't do that, is this normal with the Torsen diff?
I am sure all the more noticeable noises are from the diff bushings, and I am worrying for nothing.
Any of you guys that went from an SS to a Z could share any experiences/observations between the two diffs that would be great!
