limited slip problem?

[Marc]

when accelerating hard from a dead stop the rear wheels seem to be slipping and I hear a loud clicking sound from the rear.....can it be the limited slip or a bad differential?

Has the diff fluid be changed at all? Also could be a flex disc.

I change the diff oil to redline oil every year.......can it be the traction control the wheels just don't grip on high torque

TCS would show up as an engine miss, not a popping sound near the diff

This definitely doesn't sound good. If its an actual CLICKING instead of a vibration and a "hitting", get your rear end checked out (the subframe and body). E36's have a problem with the rear subframe ripping out of the body - or the body cracking and then making clicking noises when under stress. Good luck!!

Dreaded E36 rear subframe doom!

I thought I had the same problem but it was only the control arm bushing

it is a strong vibration from the rear near wheels only on strong acceleration like wheels slipping??

I want to say its a wheel bearing, but it may be a wheel out of balance.

it ended up being the "center support bearing" ...you guys were close...
