Hi everyone.

When I am offroading trying to tackle a hill or a rut my rear diff has a habit of open wheeling when im flexing.
When I am on the road it will chirp on tar at most intersections. I dont understand why. it there "too much" torque for the clutch plates to handle preventing it locking when flexing or is this a sign of worn clutch plates?




BTW servicimg isnt an issue.I've put 25k on the clock since buying and the diff oil has been changed 6 times

Cheers

Differentials will always send torque down the path of least resistance, even with a fully functioning very tight limited slip the you can only expect to get a maximum of 40% torque transfer to the wheel with good traction. If you want better than that your only choice is a locker of some description.

I have just bought a .7mm shim for the lsd and a lockrite for the front. that should sort the traction issue
