On a classic shape STi car the front diff is free as supplied by Subaru. I don't believe that it was even an option part.
The plated front diff is available as an STi 'Sportpart' and is fitted after supply, it would not have come like that from the factory as a new car.

As soon as the drive is not in a straight line the noises etc will start. Unless you have a need of it to be like that [ can't think of one ! ] get it out of there as soon as possible for a much nicer-driving car.

Cheers David, that's put my mind at rest. Everyone who gets in the car gives me the "is it meant to do this" look and it was starting to get me a little worried.
So why do people put them in?? Mine was already fitted when I bought the car. The only other mods were 4 cusco braces and springs so I reckoned the previous guy must have preferred the car to handle more than big power.
Is it any good on the drag strip for example?

Assuming the question is aimed at me.

We probably do have a number of FREE free diffs actually, just that they came complete with a gearbox which isn't
