    Noise at slow speed turns

    I’ve noticed a low frequency noise from the rear of my car when taking tight, slow speed turns. The sort when pulling into a parking spot or turning at a stop sign.

    I thought having my diff fluid changed (~100 miles ago) would help but has made no difference. Any thoughts?

    BMW oil with FM and if not did you add FM to the oil?

      Shop used bmw oil but I doubt they added FM. The car did make the same noise before I had the fluid changed.

        If they used the BMW oil I linked to then it has the FM already mixed in. My car had a groan at low speed when I bought it. I used the BMW oil, did a few figure eights and the noise was gone. Worth asking what exactly they used (if you don't already know for sure).

            They used the wrong product. Lack of FM is the cause.

                Nope. Top plug on the diff. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/lim...fier-4oz-80301

                I like what the link above says. Add an ounce, figure eights for a minute, not gone then add another ounce, repeat. I wouldn't exceed 3 ounces.
