Nasty clunk/shuddering

[Sarumatix]

Whenever I turn corners or park etc at low speed forwards or in reverse I hear a nasty clunk in the rear of the car along with a slight shaking. The car is newly imported and had a few worn parts that were replaced. Would I be right in assuming that the nismo 2 way lsd would be to blame for this? If so how much am I looking at to replace it.

heheh I am sure there would be plenty of people will to swap it for free to a standard one

Mechanical diffs are a pain to live with, unless you take it out on the track, sell it to someone for $500 +they pay to swap it out

I can learn to live with it if that is how it's meant to behave . I've never owned a RWD car before let alone one with an LSD so i'm not really sure what to expect . Are you saying that these LSDs always clunk at low speed?

[Duncan]

yep absolutely.

The 2 rear wheels will pretty much always move at the same speed. So when you are doing slow turns like a carpark, the outside wheel is travelling much further than the inside wheel, so the inside wheel starts slipping/skipping to catch up, so it makes the naty clunking noise.

On the other hand, if you are doing track days or drifting and can put up with the noise day to day, stick with it. Tight diffs make an amazing difference to handling on the track.

The factory LSDs aren't very tight so they won't make any noise.
