The ALL Florida Online Corvette Club - View Single Post - Is Your Corvette Differential Making Noise???

I have an '06 C6. Ever since I had the car (1 yr) I noticed that the rear end made noises when I turned slowly, such as a "U" turn in a parking lot. I recently took my car into my Chevy dealer and asked the service mgr to take a short ride with me so I could have him hear the problem. He never got in the car. He knew what was wrong. He said that GM has been having some differential problems with some recent Corvettes. Apparently some clutches in the diff do not have enough clearance so they make noise and it requires a rebuild of the entire diff. There is no "official" recall by GM, but they are fixing the problem, if you call it to the service writer's attention. He said they have repaired one '04, several 05's and a few '06's. Do you have such a noise in your rearend?
Take it to your Chevy dealer. They'll fix it...whether your car is in warranty or not.
