Chatter and Clunk??? I've only heard that on Spools and Lockers...not
Limited Slip. The only thing mine does is "squeak" the tires around
turns...no clunks, bangs, or chatter. My old 12-Bolt GM (Moroso
Brute-Strength) POSI unit (on my old Camaro - RIP) didn't chatter or clunk
either.

My experience (GM & Fjiord) has been that if a limited slip differential
NEEDS an additive after you change the gear oil out, it will chatter or
clunk when you are in a tight turn. It doesn't do any damage, it is just
uncomfortable and embarassingly noisy.
