My new car had one issue that irked me. The diff was perfectly smooth when I spun the right passenger side wheel, but when I tried to spin the diff by the left side wheel, it would make a clicking ratchet-ey like sound one way, then lock the other.
I functioned this way so consistantly I thought maybe it was intentional, I almost asked about it, but then I realized with the car on the ground the diff would be rough one way, and not work at all the other.
What I figured out the problem to be was the metal retainer on the axle had a metal burr, and was not perfectly cetered in the wheel, so it was catching.
What I did was take my extao blade and clear out that burr and some plastic around there, Now it's mostly smooth, with a itty bitty amount of that clicky feel
Does anybody know if that remaining clicky feel is because the left side always spins the motor a little?
