After a track day (two weeks ago) everything quit down. No grabbing or knocking on tight turns!. Didn't test the car on the highway yet to hear if the whining disappear or not.

What you said about changing the bearings makes a lot of since, they should of changed them when first installed.

Try the OS fluid for the next oil change and see if there is a difference. I don't wanna stray to another one because I know I won't have any issues with OS Giken's fluid. I'm just curious if you will be able to see and behavioral differences between the fluids.

The Carbonetic Metal LSD is fairly noisy and grabby in low speed parking lot turns. Based on V's review I wonder if the OSG locker is similar in operation? Experimenting with fluid can be a good thing in keeping the noise down. We are running the Motul 75/140 Gear 300 synthetic fluid.
