Pulling from a T Junction with a sharpish left or right hander, under moderate acceleration the rear feels like they are 'binding' and locking up..

Also, going round a smallish roundabout that is quite bumpy the wheels again appear to bind / tighten up.

Aceleration isn't hindered and there's no noise of undue worry..

Both of these don't feel 'natural' in the sense that the car isn't under a lot of stress as I'm not going too fast...

Is this the rear diff doing its thing to aid the grip?

 

Alan, you running RE070's?

Sorry for the delay mate..

Yes I am.. Why?

 

I feel this and have assumed its the LSD

 

I get this on mine, an early classic with DCCD fully open. Its more pronunced if you've stiffened up the rear ARB. Makes the car 'hop' a bit. Always assumed its the inner rear wheel spinning then grabbing

 

Hi
I have a JDM WRX Type-R V-limited no DCCD, its rear diff has a Cusco LSD and on a 4X4 road test nearly all the drice was from the rear.

When I turn as you have discribed the inside wheel, left or right, looses grip and spins a little bit as if letting the cluch out to quick. This only happens when driving slow and turning or pulling away from a junction.

On mine it has allowed the rear end to drift-out nicely under power, when on the PRIVATE ROAD.

If you have a plate type rear diff, it is standard , more-so with the dccd wound up more, If it stop`s doing it then it`s time to worry :-) the cusco I would think would be even louder, I always run at least one click of diff and when parking etc lift the handbrake till the light comes on, opens the diff, also usefull for handbrake turns / donuts etc
Have a good one
