Suspension Issue #32548

I have noticed that at the rear the drivers side tyre gets bold a lot quicker than the other one, and before you say open wheeling, it is leaving 2 marks on the ground when you spin the wheels.

I have no idea what it could be, it has to be something diff or drivetrain related but cant get to

the bottom of it. Somehow seems like the drivers side wheel is spinning faster than the other one.

Has anyone here had the same problem before? Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Ric

If its a stock LSD youll probably fine the back right will spin a fair bit more then your left.

Seems normal to me.

Just live with it or get hold of non directional tyres so you can swop back right to back left and vice versa.

People please, it is not the wheel alignment as I said before, I have had 2 wheel alignments in the last months in 2 different places, and nothing has changed.

One tyre gets bold, everywhere, gone, on the metal :P while the other one is still on the indicators, to give an example.

Roy, fair point, ill check the thread and the ride height, who knows maybe thats the problem.

More ideas welcome, getting sick of this.

Cheers

yes thanks guys, car has been wheel aligned recently, so thats out of the question. Any other ideas?

not at all....did you get the after settings printed out?

I had a wheel alignment done on a car last week and it was left with +.7 and -.9 on the other side toe at the rear.

Its much like the front left of your car wears quicker than the right. It is a consequence of driving on the left side of the road. You just so happen to turn right more than left. therefore the rear right will wear more if you have an LSD/Locked diff.

If you drove on the other side of the road as other countries do, you would wear the opposite tyres.

When you have a Mechanical LSD, arent the wheels suppose to spin at the same rate all the time though??? :yes:

Yeah, and that's why it wears out. Goin round a right hand corner, the rear right needs to be turning faster than the rear left. But the LSD is making them both spin at the same rate. So you chew out the rear right.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
