Hi, recently(actually since the beginning) I noticed that during slow corner turning there is this very faint noise coming from the back of the car. I am not sure what it is. It sounds like "grrooooooannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn", a very deep sound.

I searched the forums but most attribute failing differential to clunking noises, and I don't have that. So do you guys think I have a differential problem? Or is it just a normal characteristic of the car. My car now has 8000miles.

 

sounds like one to me, go to the dealer

8k miles and recently have been getting the groan too... Let me know what the dealer says, I'll be taking mine in soon too.

I have driven a lot different S2000s and every one of them has a slight groan for about half a second when at a stop turning full lock right or left, then starting forward or reverse.

 

I have noticed this only when I make a 180 degree U-Turn, lock to lock steering, leaving work.

 

Does this mean that it is normal? Maybe it is something other than the differential. I used to have a Lotus that makes the same noise occasionally but just much louder. Never got around to finding out what it is before I sold the car.
