I have an s14 with an sr20det (notchback). I have a vlsd aswell. Ive noticed when I make right turns, there is a strong vibration and rattling under my drivers seat or a little further back. I have a tein flex coilover sys on the car and I just checked it again. Its bolted up very tight, so thats not it. I shook a lot of stuff and couldnt make the noise. Could it be the drive shaft, exhaust, or something to that effect? Are the sr trannys a little longer than the ka trannys? Could it be that the lsd is out of an auto s14? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance

Check the carrier bearing support on your two piece driveshaft. Mine was loosened up. I tightened it down and viola! Fixed the noise.
