Default Possible diff noise?

Hi all,

Ive noticed recently under full throttle when winding any lock on for a corner I’m hearing a grumbling sound from the drivetrain and I can feel a vibration in the steering wheel. All is fine when the wheel is straight and there’s no other noises coming from the drivetrain at any time. All fine under gentle acceleration, it’s only under full throttle conditions when the wheel isn’t straight im experiencing it.

Possible front or centre diff issue?

Thanks in advance.

Not many pros here any more. my gears are bouncing in first, second and just about 3rd.
Is it diffs or gear relalated.

I managed to sort this in the end, but forgot to update the thread. The very edge of the steering knuckle was contacting the downpipe. It rubbed through the wrap and was touching the downpipe ever so slightly when steering angle was wound on. The subsequent noise / vibrations felt like they were diff related. Thankfully an easy fix.
