Rear end problem...

2004 SCREW 4x4 28k

I took my truck in for a rear end shudder, they said they'd order some grease and put it on next week.

Today I took my truck to a parking lot and turned in circles both right and left, when I was done there were two very well defined rubber circles in the parking lot. I was going at idle speed. I see this as the rear diff. not doing it's job. Any suggestions or other ideas?

If you have an open rear end, then I am not sure what the problem is, could be e-brake. If you have a limited slip rear end, then the most common problem is the amount of friction modifier that was added to the rear grease. The clutch packs on these LS rears are fairly sensitive to the condition of the grease. If the clutches cannot slip, then the inner and outer wheels do not have the ability to turn at different speeds when cornering causing binding and wheel hop in turns. Good luck.

And I am willing to bet that after you had that fun in the parking lot that the rear end did not shudder for a while.
