explain how the diff is slippery as hell?

or is it just now that the roads are wet and oily??

the old boats don't like the water much

in the dry i mean when i say slippery as hell. I go around a corner and plant it, the revs shoot up. car flicks around a bit then gets going.

almost feeling like you break traction then get it back, but you're not. both wheels are firmly stuck to the road...

Kym, If the diff was slipping then you'd have noticed metal in the diff oil.

Nothing when I changed it, but I don't know, I'm on holidays next week so I've got a few weeks to play with the car. I'll take a look then...

It feels like clutch slip, but it's not coz that's brand new and hold up nicely under power :(

    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
