Right this is really starting to **** me off!!!

When turning corners the inside rear wheel started to skip. Naturally I though that the rear diff was knackered so got a second hand one.
Fitted the second hand diff and the car was still doing the same thing!!!
So bought yet another diff, fitted it yesturday and guest what, still the same!

Someone said to me that its the centre diff thats the problem, but I cant see how...
How can the centre diff control how the rear diff slips via a prop shaft??

Any help would be grateful

Because if the centre diff is locked then the rear diff will be going to fast through corners (rear wheels follow a shorter tighter line) and the more lightly loaded inside wheel will skip to accomodate this, nothing to do with rear diff slip, its just the inside wheel is lighter loaded so wil be the one to skip (even if you had an open diff), my mate has exactly this on his legacy (with open rear diff) and confirmed its the centre locked up, easy enough to do by jacking and then turning wheels to see what's happening!

Checking properly once is better than fixing the wrong thing twice (or even thrice!)
