I can hear it in the 5-40 range, windows up, radio off. If I roll the window down the wind drowns the noise out. The car has 6k miles and Torsen rear. Anybody else?

Really? I was told it was normal. ??? There are others that have the same sound. Did they pull the diff cover and see something?

In my case they test drove the car, (I had the rear seats down so the noise was evident), then ran it on a lift while probing with a stethoscope to localize the noise, then they pulled the rear cover. In my case that was three visits to the dealerHopefully you can get it done in one shot if needed.
Have you changed diff fluid? Ford says you don't need to add the friction modifier with the Torsen. Torsen's site says you don't need to either but that if you do it will help reduce noise from the diff if you add it. I didn't add it the last time it was changed.adam81 said:Gary I know you have told me this before. But the noise only started after one of my track days.... It has me a bit nervous. And further more not everyone is talking about it or has mentioned it. Everyone should be hearing it that it has the torsen diff...
