"Tire Chatter" on Quattro in tight turns?
Sorry for all the posts, New to this car and learning alot just reading all the posts. Its already helped me fix/review a number of things....
96 audi a4 quattro automatic. during a tight turn getting a bit of rough ride/tire chatter when turning. Is this a common thing with associated with Quattro's OR is this cuz Ive read ALOT about making sure on the quattros you match your tires correctly as its all wheel drive. Looking at the tires I notice the PO has a 40 series tires on the front and 45 series on the back!!
Im wondering if thats not the cause of the slight "tire Chatter" / Roughness in tight corners?? I mean you have 4 power wheels and rear slightly bigger than the front.........
Thanks!!

My '96 A6 does this too, as does many peeps. Its almost like 'posi chatter' in the older cars. I''ve heard changing the 'lifetime' fluid in the front diff helps... since its not really lifetime, just synthetic GL-5 and it does go bad after 60k mile or so.
