Default True-Trac owners, quick question

When turning, does the rear make a winding noise, very very similar to like driving a quiet car in reverse(like in my integra, if I go in reverse it has a winding noise coming from the tranny). I have this noise and i'd like to know if it's normal or not?

A better idea for the 10-bolt is the T2R.

Strano sells them too.

Mine is only when i'm turning left and it's drive side wheel that's doing it. Found out yesterday from Scott @ DLS that the noise is the axle bearing getting in a bind(which explains why the first bearing busted after 3 weeks of use). The reason for this is that the Axle shaft needs to be ground down(like with a bench grinder) 3/16". ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE THIS NOISE. Sometimes Moser gets it right for the trutrac, sometimes they don't, it's not a big deal but it's just gonna keep busting the bearing if you don't do it, I would suggest anyone with a 9" trutrac pull out their driver side axle after about a month of use and check the bearing.

I don't road race. I was looking for a gear based posi stronger then torsen, which this seems to be. Are these made for 10 bolts?

i have a clunk when i'm parking and in gear and if i have the steering locked all the way and i push in the clutch with it still in gear and rolling forward, it's my driveshaft hitting my exhaust.. not a big deal because it doesn't happen any other time.

Because you say it's when your slowing down... are you riding the brakes when it happens? I would be inclinded to blame it on warped rotors or something in the braking... try downshifting from 40 to a stop and see if it happens without touching the brakes.

No it's not available for 10bolt as far as I know, probably because the 10 bolt is crap.
