Bad grinding on left turns

I am still having this problem with my car. before I thought it was the ETD making the noise but I don't have it on the car anymore and it is getting worse.

When I go into a left hand turn with a bit of speed I get a really nasty grinding noise coming from the front right of the car. Odd thing is that it only happens when the car is in gear so this really has me wondering now. I don't know if it is a problem with the tranny or the LSD or what it could be.

Is anyone else having these kinds of noises?

I have a problem with one of the side skirts falling into the wheel well on top of the bolt. The wheel catches on it and makes grinding sounding noises.

Still haven't gotten a chance to take it to the dealer so they can fix it.

Wow, dude you just stated my EXACT problem word for word, it only makes the sound when its in gear for me too! I'm worried one of the axles is poping out or something!

I was at the track, my one tire caught, the other didn't and it blew a side gear. When ever i drove it, a grinding/ticking noise came from the transmition when i turned left.

Same problem here. Took it to the dealer. They said there was a Thing on the board for it. GM says its normal and not to attempt a fix. Said they may have a fix for it later down the road, said for now its normal and that if it wasnt safe GM wouldnt tell them not to fix anything. Ive hit 150+ with the noise in existance, I doubt its anything serious. Have been to the track like 3 times too since I noticed it.

I was thinking that it might be the LSD that was making the noise. I am going to bring it into the dealer this week and get them to have a look at it. I need to have the oil done anyways so I might as well get it all done in one shot.

It's your quaife mechanism if it's going "BWWWM, BWWWM BWWWM BWWWM"

lock the wheel and accellerate, if you hear that, it's the quaife.

its your axel do not dirve it hard or you will snap your passenger side axel, get ti booked immediately and tell them to change it, youll have cv grease leaking form your cv boot on the right hand side, the part is only 212 from gm auto parts but sitll something you should get fixed right away, i knwo im out of commission for 2 weeks, and it is not a normal thing if it breaks your screwed make them fix it

I took mine in and had a full suspension check. They said they looked at everything and could not find the issue. I would assume if I was leaking V fluid they would see that and they didnt. It was always there but became much more noticable after I installed my Torque brace/strut bar. I took those off when I took it into the dealer and it was still there jst not quite as bad.

Well my cars out of comission anyway, its just sitting in my driveway with a doughnut, and I'm too stubborn to spend the money and fix it after only 4000 miles!!! I might as well just bring it into the dealer while its immobile.
