Subject: Safe-T-Track Rear Axle Lubricant.
Short answer: Differential chatter on low-speed turns in Safe-T-Track equipped units is cured by a lubricant change; only Part No. 1050081 [Z] (Gp. No. 8.800) is approved — no substitute is recommended.
A number of cases of differential chatter on low speed turns have been reported in recent years on Safe-T-Track equipped units. Investigations prove that lubricant change is still the recommended fix for axle chatter.
