Noise Acceptability

A gear-driven unit, especially an automotive drive axle, will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and may be audible at certain speeds or under various driving conditions such as a newly paved blacktop road. The slight noise is not detrimental to operation of the rear axle and must be considered normal.

With the Tool limited slip differential, slight chatter noise on slow turns after extended highway driving is acceptable and has no detrimental effect on the locking-axle function.
