Because the clutches in the differential are slipping to allow for the difference in rear axle rotation speed whle in a turn. The clutches bind sometimes and cause that noise. Fluid change and additive eliminates this and silences eveything down for you.

Again, this is coming form the front of the car. It is not the clutch packs or axle chatter.

Anyone?

Three times (3) and a total failure on changing the fluid and adding 2 cans of additive. This went on for 16 months and 17k miles on a 21 month old car. GM and there bullitins are a bunch of delay, delay, and delay on fixing a warranty problem and having to go through this 3 times, damn bullitins and the Grapevine dealer who screwed up the repair by damaging the seals and these had to be replaced a month later when they were leaking ALL over the differential case and on the leaf spring. They denied that they were leaking, had a BIG TALK with them. GM and the dealer stink. You would think after building rear ends after 50 years they would know how to build them, SLOW LEARNERS!
