Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
TW:
If you have the TRAC-LOC plate type limited slip diff, it sounds like
"stiction" in the plates to me (will usually show up after a highway drive
and up to full temperature, then upon making a turn under power). This is
normally fixed by a fluid change, adding the recommended additive and
driving some "figure 8's" to work the fluid in. It should be OK by then.
This is providing the plates are mechanically sound. If not, further
repairs could be required.

I have Dana 44 and drum brakes in the back. Because of Dana 44, I have no
ABS brakes (I am so glad).
Would it be possible for both sides in the back to develop sticking valves
and shoes at the same time? I had never noticed this noise before this.
Can I take the drums off and clean everything with brake clean or
something? Would that help? I am trying to save money for suspension and
tyre upgrade, so don't really want to go to the shop unless I really have
to. Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
I do have Trac-Loc limited slip differential. The noise was after highway
drive for 90 minutes. I had come to a complete stop at a stop sign on the
off ramp and heard it when I was making a left turn as I started moving at
a slight incline. The second time as well I was making a turn, but this
time it was a right turn. The sound seems to be coming from both back
sides, therefore, I am assuming its the diff. because both drum brakes
starting to stick at the same time in point would be very coincidental,
then may be it was my lucky day (may be I should buy a Lotto ticket for
tomorrow, jackpot this week is NZ$15.5 million!!!). I need to find an open
auto store over the Easter break and buy the oil. Do you think it would be
beneficial in the long run if I go with synthetic oil this time.

Re: Binding noise from the rear (TJ '01)
I do have Trac-Loc limited slip differential. The noise was after highway
drive for 90 minutes. I had come to a complete stop at a stop sign on the
off ramp and heard it when I was making a left turn as I started moving at
a slight incline. The second time as well I was making a turn, but this
time it was a right turn. The sound seems to be coming from both back
sides, therefore, I am assuming its the diff. because both drum brakes
starting to stick at the same time in point would be very coincidental,
then may be it was my lucky day (may be I should buy a Lotto ticket for
tomorrow, jackpot this week is NZ$15.5 million!!!). I need to find an open
auto store over the Easter break and buy the oil. Do you think it would be
beneficial in the long run if I go with synthetic oil this time.
