Only the LSD has an additive. I's suggest the issue is a mechanical one, that needs repair or replacing.

Used difs are fairly cheap in non LSD form, and fairly easy to swap out. Just make sure it's from the same engine to get the right gearing. Might be worth doing the seals before install as well.

Sounds like the diff but definitly not the gearbox or
wheel bearings .  Serek checked all that .. its like a wirring sound
that goes away under load slightly .

Not the handbrake either ..
