It was odd because when I first brought it in, they claimed to not know what the issue was. So I scheduled the appointment for a period in which they could spend the time looking at it. In the meantime, I checked online for all possible causes and for any TSBs to bring with me to help figure it out. I told the service manager about the fluids, the front hub bearing etc. And he randomly spurts out "anything about the heat shield, that might have something to do with it." The way the conversation followed after that would lead me to believe that they knew this might be the issue before even looking at the car. Turns out it was.

I have had the rubbing sound in the rear since day one when I backup or go forward slow.
I told the dealer back when I got my car first serviced. They told me it was the soft compound tires that caused it. I have a 2011 RS/2SS automatic and I have gotten two alignment done. Once initially for unusual rear tire wear, and another after I just recently installed lowering springs and sway bars. I took it to my mechanic for an alignment everything as he puts it was out. He spent 5 hours getting it straight, I told him that the dealership had done it less then year ago. He said they didn't do it right, I sure can tell just by the way it tracks and turns so much better. But any how he brought up the rubbing noise and I told him what they said, about it being the soft compound tire. And of course he said there no way that's it. He said take it to a different dealer, and I told him I've already loss confidence in my 3 closes dealers. So if anyone has the fluid part numbers which works the best and quantities, it would be appreciated.. |

Mine Has Done This Sence Day one. It Is The Postive Traction Clutches, Only Does It When Oil is Cold And Thick. This Is Normal. Can Be Corrected By Adding A Bottle Of Positave Traction Addtive From GM. I Had This Problem With My 68 SS Camaro. It Is Something I Just Live With Because The Additive Makes It Go Away It Allows The Clutches To Slip A Little And I Don't Want Any Slip. It Is A Small Amount About A Few Ounces In Bottle, So It Can Just Be Added To Existing oil.

GROWLING & GRINDING
Just got my 2011 2SS camaro conv. L99 back from the dealer (1500 mi.) for the grinding noise. They replaced the seals with GM P/N 22797705 and drain / refilled the dif. with new fluid GM P/N 88862624. Advised it may take up to 500 mi. to penetrate the limited slip clutch. This fluid includes a limited - slip additive. My dealer said Im the first customer that has complained of the problem.I still hear grinding noise, I dont blame the dealer just dont think GM has found a cure.

I posted this in the other thread - http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=233565 - that I didn't even know existed until recently so I'll post it here too because it might help others.
My dealer got sick of me coming in for the same problem all the time and finally changed the gears in the diff. Technically it was the clutches but they're inside a huge ball of gears etc that they said they had to send back whole for the warrantee so it was kind of replaced as a unit. Hopefully they put in the new seals and nut and fluid and additive and everything thing one more time else so it won't happen again next year! Seems great so far... no noise and it accelerates and corners SO much smoother without the rear axel binding up all the time. Such a perfect car otherwise and I totally love it still so it's a shame that there's this one problem for so many.

So, has this problem been conclusively identified and is there a permanent fix?

Take it back. The next step is to change the clutches which are inside the ball of gears; they just replace the whole unit inside the diff. I've been riding smooth since they did mine and finally feel confident that it's fixed!

If you would like, I would like to set up a case with GM customer service and do more research with your dealership. When was the last time you took it there for this issue? I just need your first and last name, address, phone number, VIN, mileage and involved dealership name.
I look forward to your reply via PM. Brandon Chevrolet Customer Service
