Who "advised" you it was the front diff? Was it someone who'd actually seen your car or was it someone on here?

It's also a little difficult to work out exactly what you're saying is wrong. Are you saying that the car drives fine in a straight line but that when you turn tightly, the rear wheels start to lock up?

BTW, while it won't be causing this problem, haven't you been given the standard warning about cone filters before?

Given that one of your prior threads is about trying to turn the check engine light off, the best way forward for now might be to find your nearest good specialist and have them look the car over. That'll be the quickest way to diagnose and sort this "crabbing" problem, as well as hopefully spotting any other issues before they start costing you even more money.

Has the car got the original gearbox? whats the code? Has the car got its original rear diff?

Tight plated LSD's do that anyway (they skip on the inside wheel), your car might have one, but your description of your car so far is so vauge I have no idea
