    Im getting a slow turn vib. when I turn or back real sharp. I just changed the rear housing oil and went back with synthetic with the additive. Anyone got any suggestions.

    Its your LSD. Mine does it too after it sits for a while. I have heard that it is worse with synthetic gear oil.

    My truck does the same...the mechanical LSD stays "locked/stuck" and The inner tire of which ever way I turn spins out. It feels like I'm peeling out on purpose. I'm also running synthetic oil... Royal Purple.

    It depends how much it bothers you I guess. You can try switching back to Dino oil w/ additive and see if it helps.

    I changed mine over to Mobil 1 and got the chatter, i added a bottle of friction modifier from AutoZone and it seems to have fixed it.
