I finally got my rear end swapped out and now when turning into parking spots I can hear noise coming from the rear, more when turning right then left.

Probably need friction modifier, right? Does it matter what kind because I got some LSD additive from O-reilly's for about $4 for 4 ozs.

Just grab some friction modifier from Ford (1 small bottle, can't remember size) but it's the right amount and inexpensive.

1 bottle will help. Do it as soon as possible. It should go away if it hasn't been too long.

Mobil 1 says the same thing but they also say something like "for severe applications additional friction modifier is suggested" or something along those lines.

I'd add a bottle of the Ford stuff anyway.
