Guys,
I got NO hope in knowing my problem.

I had my car brand new, and from day 1, I heard a noise from the rear end, sound like the Diff, it comes at 25mph ( grinnn, clik toggg.. noise type) it happens while am slowing down at a turn or something..

NOw, evertime i press the ESP traction switch to turn off traction, a very scary sound comes from my rear end and you can feel the tires or the something is vibrating at the rear end, something is slipping with real sound (grrrhh) ,.. if i switch back ESP.. the car is ok, but the original sound of the (grriinnn clik toggg) comes back..

please HELP me.. :( :confused:

You actually have a good situation, as you can hear the noise. This should be easy for the dealer to figure out. Maybe a new rear end/3rd member is in order. Let us know what happens.

I sometimes get a howeling sound coming from the rear end. This usually happens at lower rpm. I took it to the dealer and they could not replicate the sound........any suggestions? any one else with this?

Definately not a good sound, definately get it righty into the dealer, and tell them to put some 4.10's or 4.56's in there, that'll solve the problem. :)> (eg.)

Considering the gas mileage and the obscene acceleration anyhow I'd back off for some 3.4's and get some more top end. :D
