Noise Acceptability

NOTE: Vehicles equipped with a Traction-Lok differential may exhibit a slight stick-slip noise on tight turns after extended highway driving. This noise is considered acceptable and has no detrimental effect.

A gear-driven unit, such as automotive drive axles, will produce a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and may be heard at certain speeds or under various driving conditions, such as on a newly paved blacktop road. This slight noise is in no way detrimental to operation of the rear axle and must be considered normal.
