Default Noise from Moser 12

I have started to notice a noise coming from my Moser 12 bolt when I make tight low speed turns. Sounds as if it coming from the axles. I have the 35 spline axlels and 4.10s if that helps. Anyone know what this is or have had the same problem?

Check your caliper mounting bolts to make sure one of them isn't loose. While you are there, check everything else to make sure eveything is tight. Torque arm mounting bolts with the Moser 12 bolt have a habit of coming loose, unless you use loctite when installing them. Check to make sure all four of these bolts are still tight. Bob

Thanks Bob I will take a look at that. Just replace a torque arm not to long ago. Could be the culprit.

Let me know if you figure it out...here's what my strange noise sounds like in my Moser 9" and I haven't nailed it down yet either. I only hear mine at low speeds with the window up and turning sharply.

do you have a posi or the trutrak. it may need some limited slip additive. I would first check the fluid level, as moser is known for leaking a bit.

LOL! I swear my Moser 9" developed a pinion seal leak during break-in.

It would be more help to know what carrier setup you have. I run the Detroit Locker, and if I don't put enough additive in it, it gets a little violent on me

These are all good suggestions...I will look into each. I will also try to get a sound clip and post it for everyone's opinion.
