Default Low pitched buzz/whine noise during tight turns

Hey everyone,

I tried to search but there was too many words in my searches and didn't come up with anything..

Anyways, I have an '08 with less than 3000 miles on the car, and since new (bought with 0 miles) the car has always had a very low pitched buzz or whine coming from the rear of the car during tight turns, such as a 90* left or right, and u-turns. This happens about 60% of the time, and I had ideas of it being bearings (but only two months old..??) also maybe the LSD? And then last just something in the diff/axles rubbing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Aaron

If it wasn't a new car, and you recently had someone else change your diff fluid, then I'd be scared. There have been horror stories.

Besides, you have a warranty. Just enjoy the car.
