i have a tseries rear end in my 86 with kazz 2way and 4.77's,which is great but makes abit of noise(not enough to worry about)
was wondering would it be worth trying a additive?what have you used?was it worth it?where did you buy it from?

Castrol SAFXA has the additive in it already. Good oil used in many quality diffs.

Mine was only under load (acceleration) which was a lash adjustment issue of the gears being worn.

LSD diffs do require different oil... Allot of workshop mechanics fail in this area too

I put some repco gear additive (Nulon rebottled) in my diff and it quietened down a fair bit.

Only slightly OT, but does it sound like you're going in reverse when you're going forward?

MFW i heard that:

we use Penrite LSD additive in our workshop & race cars. this will only help quieten the plate chattering when you start to corner. it will no nothing if you have a whining diff from mesh or gear problems
