Brainstorming on the clunk from by diff - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey fellow Zilvians again,

I have a 95 s14 witha redtop sr20. I have what I believe to either be an open diff or possible a 1.5way. Not entirely sure, I bought the car with it. If anyone could tell me what to look for I could find out and post it. Months ago I noticed when I go a little hard around turns it would pop and clunk which from my understanding is normal for a LSD or equivilent. Now I'm noticing a slight knock from the diff between 70-80 mph as well as pretty serious popping when I turn from a complete stop. So basically unless I clutch super slow and not give it gas turning, it will pop a lot. Does anyone think I just may need to change the gear oil or is this diff a possible goner? Any help would be awesome guys. I can post pics if needed.
