[QUOTE="jjs17, post: 28138, member: 8479"] Yes I had purchased a 2017 Equinox last year right around this time. It was for my daughter, she starred driving it and noticed a sort of grinding noise from the rear end when she made sharp turns. Brought it to a friend of mine who knows Equinox vehicles, he drove it and instantly knew what it was. The rear differential was the culprit. He got a used one from a salvage yard near us and swapped it with the original. He did leave the original module so as not to have to reprogram anything. It was a bit of a job but that seemed to take care of it so far. I had done some researching on that issue and several comments said there may have been an extended of a tiff that caused it, I guess there is a tolerance of difference in tire sizes that could cause a problem too. Like if someone had driven the car with a spare tire for a while, I guess AWD vehicles don't like having different circumference wheels on the same axle.
