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

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
