Title: LSD or Diff problem?
Post by: luv_my_mv6 on 30 July 2007, 21:36:29

Well, i'll start by saying I mean LSD as in the slip diff not narcotics  ;D when I turn left from a standing start, every now and again i've been getting a rumble, upto now i've just been putting it down to slight wheel spin so got the wife to stand watch while I drove around in anti-clockwise turns until it did it - she said no wheelspin at all  :-/ All I can think is that the diff is going to pot or the LSD is sticking. Definatly drive train related and coming from the rear, no probs turning right and rumble is more noticable after a longish drive and pulling off in lowish engine speeds. If I give it welly, the back end trys to overtake the front of the car - very scary  ;D

Lol, I like easy ones....

You need to change the diff oil.

The LSD oil has a friction modifier to aid slipping, when it gets tired this fails and the slipper 'sticks' and comes un-stuck with a bit of a judder.

So a fresh litre of BOA90LS from Opieoils is in order......there is a maintenance guide on diff oil changes.
