Who knows, it didn't seem like an issue today going up the parking
garage. It has Amsoil gear oil with the Amsoil LSD additive so I'm ok
there.

This thing makes so many weird clacking noises from the steering box
area (despite almost new pitman arm/tierods/etc) plus a weird rattle
that's either a loose heat shield, bad cat, or god forbid the
transmission that it has me paranoid about new noises...
