Just picked up a 2010 ZR1 on 11-17-09 and when the steering wheel is fully turned it feels like something is rubbing on wheel.Anybody had any experience with this?
From the GM document given to the dealerships about the ZR1.....
Rear Differential
Differential chatter has been addressed in all 2009 and past model Corvettes by using Dexron® LS gear lube. With the increased front tire size on the ZR1, some customers may believe they are hearing differential chatter or hop but in fact are hearing the front tires squawk. When the wheels are turned, especially when the tires are cold, the wide profile tires may slip and jump. It should be explained to customers that it does not damage the tire and is considered normal for tires this large. The noise may resonate under the car to where it appears the sound is coming from the rear of the car. Technicians can usually demonstrate the noise is tire-related by duplicating the tire noise first on coarse pavement and then finding a patch of smooth pavement and add a little water under the tire to reduce the friction.
Hope this helps.....
cheers!
