Diff is quite common problem in the FG though. What tyres are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run your hand on the outside of the tread in one direction it will feel smooth but if you do the same in the opposite direction the tread will feel raised or rough. Stick the fronts on the rear and visa versa and noise will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
