Default Why does my car squeek now???

So I just got 3.73's installed in my '01 SS A4. But now i notice that when accelerating (quick from a stop, and just gassing it as i'm moving), my car squeeks now. What the F?!?

it isn't the possible torque is it? Lame question, i know... but i'm out of possibilites.

Oh, and my car's now been "broken in" for 430 miles.

And is the whining sound from my gears gonna subside?? If not, i can' live with it....

Try suspension upgrade:

PHB
LCA
Torque Arm
Subframe Connection (welded or bolt on)...

That should help! It did with me!

i was gonna try some suspension upgrades anyway, but my car never squeeked before...so what gives?

And the rear end is the same stock rear end, with the exception of the 3.73's and the Moser axles.

well, you could be twisting the frame with the extra touque in the rear.

SBC might fix that.

Spend the money on the suspension, you'll notice somewhat of a driveability increase, and the squeaks will disappear.
