98 AWD with rear axle noises

[jhawes]

Hi everyone, I seem to have the binding LS clutch pack issue with my 5.0 AWD.
I haven't tried to change the lube and friction modifier yet but am wondering what happens when the clutches fail? Do I only loose the limited-slip action or do I grind to a halt? Thanks.

Binding means they are working when they dont work you feel nothing .you put the additive in to make them slip so you dont feel the chatter .

Usually you just lose your limited slip, but that is from the result of wear and tear. I'm not familiar with this binding LS clutch pack issue. You have to do some serious internal damage to make it not turn at all.

AWD axle issues

Thanks guys. I can probably live without the LS if the lube change doesn't work.
I guess swapping axles is the cheapest repair otherwise.
