I've noticed this for a while now, when putting the power down around a corner, the car would rev a touch higher and would jerk around. I am not breaking traction, nor am I going sideways.
It almost feels like the clutch is slipping, but I've had that replaced about 1000km's ago with a ceramic plate jobbie, that fixed up old mr slippery-launch!
Now when driving, changing lanes while putting the power down, the car flicks-back into the other lane quickly, almost like I'm recovering from traction loss.... But i'm not.
I put the car up on jacks (the entire rear-end) and noticed how the wheels spinned when i turned them manually.
I can turn the wheels in any direction and the other wheel will follow suit SLOWER. I can also hold back one wheel while I turn the other. The drive shaft is still turning when I hold one wheel back.
It is obviously a touch stiffer when I hold one wheel back, but I can still turn it. I thought an LSD was supposed to force each wheel to turn the same etc ? and you can't hold it back ? (can you?)
I've recently replaced diff oil with Castrol LSX90 (the best stuff for LSDs apparently)
What is happening ?
What usually wears out on a diff to make this happen ?
How can it be fixed ? Can I just take it to a Differential specialist and tell him to weld it locked ?
Cheers Guys,
