Sure sounds just like my one-way Cusco mechanical LSD (which is up for sale). Should only happen at slow speeds, light throttle and at tight corners. Over about 60 kph under full power should be quiet. Also, if it's a one-way diff it won't happen on the overrun or in reverse. A two-way or one and a half way may make a noise on overrun as well but these diffs usually lock more gradually and are therefore less noisy on the whole.

Try rotating the back wheels in the same direction when the car is up on the hoist and see what happens.

Hello,

Sorry to hijack the thread, just a few questions. What is over-run? What type of mech diff would it be if it locks up and clunks going slowly in a corner (and up to about 50-60 in a tight corner), slow turning, and slow/fast turning from a stand still (from anywhere between half turn to full lock) and also turning while reversing (also from anywhere between half turn to full lock)?

Hope that makes sense?? :huh:

What type of oil would be best to loosen it up so its less tight and noisy?

This clunking is extreme, makes the ride extremely rough when it does clunk and its very loud too, i dont know which is louder, the clunking or the exhaust, it can be felt throughout the car.

Cheers! :D

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
