Rear diff
So the last couple of days I've had an issue with the differential.
It only appears under hard acceleration in 2nd gear from low lpm. It makes a really loud noise from the rear and the whole car shakes and feel like its struggling for grip. Best way I can describe it is like very aggressive wheel hop but the sound and feeling through the car is really intense and feels like the car will come apart. I though it may be a bushing but not sure? Anyone experienced anything similar? |

Would get under there and look around, look for oil or grease coating anything. I'm no expert here, but things to think about might be the diff bushings as you said, loss of diff oil due to a bad main seal (where axles enter diff on each side, this has been reported). Also maybe bad CV joint?
