[xj-s] Weird noise

XJ-S
1

I have a noise in the rear of mny 94 V12 that sounds like the fuel
pump. Funny thing is that I only hear it when making sharp turns
at low speeds (i.e. a parking lot). Anyone have any ideas of what
it is and if I should worry?–

I would suspect that the noise is coming from the limited slip unit
of the rear diff. Anybody who has changed the fluid without adding
the required limited slip lube will know that noise.

If you’ve had the diff oil changed lately, make sure the additive
went in as well. If you’ve got a rear seal leak, it might mean
that it won’t leak anymore (ie. its empty of oil!).

But noise from the rear while turning slow and sharp…rear diff.

Be sure not to overlook the rear wheel bearings. That was the culprit
(right side) on mine.
