Rear Diff Groan by the numbers - Page 2

Bells · 01-06-2017, 03:45 PM

Had the groan bad, took it in and got the fluid changed. Groan stopped.

Now the groan comes back very slightly in really cold weather. Nothing like it used to be though.

I wouldn't give up my warranty on the diff.

GM rarely spends the time and money to try to prove anything in these type of situations.

Google BBB AUTO LINE program

Thanks for the info I have a few lemon law lawyers looking into.

Is this a V8 issue or all engines?

Subscribed here as I have the groan also and got in a vote. Im curious if the 1LE E-diff or V6 cars has had any of the same issues or just our SS's.??

V6s have the issue, as well.

Me too, need this as a poll option.

Mine makes groaning sound on cold start first 2 turns and goes away after 3 turn. I don't believe its normal. I love this car but I don't want to be left stranded at the wrong time or place. Appointment on Monday but not very confident after they recommend I drive figure eights daily....really? this isn't a fricking motorcycle man...

Dealer told me they haven't had any new ss Camaros come in yet so they aren't aware of my problem, not as many of us out there, a lot of v6 so I don't think there open diff has this issue, must be the ss limited slip dif, probably locking together without lube then after a few splashes and back to normal, must be causing metal friction damage which concerns me.
