core--I'd have your right rear wheel bearing checked first off but I wouldn't rule out a differential problem either.

Thanks for the responses and ideas. Gives me an idea where to start.. By the way it only has 40,000 miles on it.
#551 of 1908 Many roads full of Corvettes by starrow68 Jun 27, 2003 (7:18 am)
A week ago, on Saturday morning I was going south on I-5 from Redding, CA and saw about 20+ Corvettes at the outlet stores parking lot along side the freeway. I'm guessing they were an early group heading for the Corvette Caravan to Nashville and the BG plant for July 4th week. Yesterday had reason to talk to a guy in Little Rock and he noted that overnight there were, in his words, over 850 Corvettes in town the prior night all going to Nashville and it made the local news. It seems there will be about 10K Corvettes in that area for the next week or so, should be pretty impressive if anyone has the chance to catch the show.

650   The easiest way to start is to do a series of figure 8's in a parking lot to see if you have differential chatter. If you get chatter on both left and right turns, then almost for sure it is the GM friction modifier issue. If it still has only one side look into the bearing issue.

Yep I did that.. Turn left and a ton of chatter and noise.. Turn right and nothing.. Smooth as silk.. I am almost positive it is the right rear bearing.. Having it checked out next week.. Thanks all.. -Core

Let us know what finally corrects the problem!!

Problem with axle noises is that they transmit very well all along the assembly. Sometimes you have to run the car on a lift and be very patient with detection. Sometimes you need to tear down before you know for sure what's up.
#556 of 1908 Which Dealer by bhill2 Jul 07, 2003 (7:26 am)
I live in the Thousand Oaks area of California, and am planning to buy a Corvette. There are two dealers that represent my closest choices; Courtesy Chevrolet in TO, and Wm. L. Morris in Simi Valley. Does anyone have any opinions on either of them? I would appreciate your sharing any experiences. Thanks.

I want to get an Z06 2002 or 2003 new or used? How should i go about it? What is a good deal at a dealer for a new 2003 Z06? What are they willing to do? What is a good deal for a used 2002 or 2003 Z06 with let's say 10k miles? Any recommendations and tips? Plus, it's really tough to find them out there. If you were me, what would you do? I don't want to wait until c6
#558 of 1908 Carmax by mihlenfeld Jul 07, 2003 (11:58 am)
There are a couple of 2002 Z06 for around 40k at CARMAX. Good deal to buy there or what is your experience?
