>A common problem of the Trac-Lok® differential is a chatter noise when turning corners. Before removing the unit for repair, drain, flush and refill the axle with the specified lubricant.
Add a container of Mopar Limited Slip Additive after repair service or during a lubricant change.</ptxt></para><para

>After changing the lubricant, drive the vehicle and make 10 to 12 slow, figure-eight turns. This maneuver will pump lubricant through the clutches. This will correct the condition in most instances.
If the chatter persists, clutch damage could have occurred.</ptxt></para><para
