Rear chattering noise
Hi guys, I am about to purchase a 2011 Alubeam SLS 20,000km. Everything’s good except there was a chattering noise coming from the rear when we were doing tight turns. It was chattering non stop when we drove at constant speed around and around in circle. It would disappear whenever I accelerated.
The dealer happened to have a white SLS with 90,000km there. We tried it and it had the same chattering when doing tight turns. Is that normal for a SLS or he’s got 2 bad cars?
thanks!

I remember vividly driving my father’s friends SLS about a year after he purchased it. There was no chatter. It was a very warm day. I know high performance diffs can chatter when cold, or even when warm but not at an optimal high temperature. My Audi R8 front end did this incessantly until at temp, the front would literally skip around corners.
