Weird pop or clunk sound
I have a strange pop or clunk sound when turning at like 15-30mph. Never while stopped. Its better described as when momentum is shifting drastically. Almost always happens when turn to the right. Feels and sounds like its coming from under my seat along the frame or something.
Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks

I started getting weird noises also. I lubed all the bushings and anything else I could find. No change. I was afraid it was the differential going wrong. I had changed the fluid after break-in and the manual says that that should be good for a ever. Well I changed the fluid anyway, and the noises have disappeared and it's been a couple of weeks now and not a peep out of it. I hope this helps you out too. The key to your question is that it happens when you are turning. The limited slip differential gives you traction even when one wheel is rolling faster than the other. The diff oil with the additive has properties that allow that to happen.
