07 hawk 2.5 sti skipping/ clunking when full lock in reverse ??
When reversing on full lock like skipping sort of feels like its pulling on drivers front side sounds like a rubbing clunking ??? Only on full lock

Well thats the A-DCCD kicking in then (centre diff is winding up to compensate your movements), switch it to manual and open and you wont get this problem (its in the handbook btw )

It will do that in full lock. Shouldn't really be driven in full lock if driven in small tights spots like parking. Keep an open diff (green setting at bottom or auto).

Just had it checked it didn't make no noises or skipping out in auto or manual when it was doing it I'd been out for about an hour or so, the fella at the gararge said its probably done it because the diff was hot, but ill just run it for abit in manual full back and see if any noises appear, this thing has a mind of its own, thanks for the advice people )

I thought mine was broken when I heard my 07 STI do this for the first time too!
I find that's the only use for the diff switch, to stop it making noises! I notice no other difference!

I have been getting this too on my 07 STi Spec D.
Glad I'm not alone, and it's sounding more like characteristic than faulty.
They really don't like being reversed on full lock do they!

I did the same when i got my current car, I thought id take it to Elvington for a Grudgement Day and have a play with the diff as i hadnt had a A-Dccd car before, It took a bit of getting used to when driving it into the corners and when i finished my lap came slowly in on full lock and all i could hear and feel was bang bang, I thought i`d popped a driveshaft or something

Yes I put mine in lock in the dry when I first got the car and went round a roundabout and nearly ended up through a wall / I quote do not put the dccd in lock and try and do a tight turn unless your name is ken block lol

I thought the exact same thing the first night I pulled home in my blob pulled up and reversed as I would normally to be greeted to "clunk clunk clunk" I thought WTF! Was not best please lmao, done some research and done what the others have said and it ain't done it since, I leave the wheel set right back so the clocks light up green on the indicator and just flick the switch when reversing, I often drive around in fully open / switch all the way back when dry anyway, find its better on fuel when on a run
