hi,
tell us a bit about how long you have owned the car,etc,has noise just started?
is it a clutch pack centre?
a detroit locker diff is very noisy,when turning

What is the full story? Did it have just normal diff oil in it before you drained and re-filled with LSD oil?
If so it will take a while for the noise to dissappear.

First guess would be it has a Detroit locker (or similar) in there.

Hey Girls and Guys, I sent the 5ltr and the T10 box off for a rebuild. I dropped the oil out the diff, its a 9inch lsd. There were no problems prior. But after all was done , I noticed a binding noise from the diff. The noise is only when I turn (left or right). I did mark the tail shaft but didn't think to look for the mark when re installed. First I used Tanoa 80w-90 mineral gear oil API GL-5. I removed the diff and it all looked good but I am no expert. So I re installed the diff and used Brad Penn multi purpose gear oil SAE 80W-90 but its still binding. Can anyone give some advice . Rainman .
Thanks in advance

Hi
Try LS90 or LS85/140 for HD use. 85/90 is good for an open center but not for a LS diff. the LS is the important part.

Is it an LSD or Trutrac? Trutracs you must not use LSD oil. It has to be a 85/140 mineral oil. Not synthetic!

Hey Gerry, its an lsd. Have dropped the oil and replaces with Castrol 85W-140 Axle lsd but still grabbing but not binding. Will this go away after a few weeks ? Does it need a good run to heat up ect ? Ray

It’s probably a Detroit locker they do that
