Sounds about right.

Mine also pulls wherever it's planted. Pretty sure mine isn't stock either and there isn't any way to find out unless you rip it apart I guess

clubman... :)... ya drove a glanza with a 2 way quaife lsd and it was quiet scary but fun in a way..

im using Yokos A032R but on 10" wheels so its haaaard to drive, quite fun & fast!


i´m gonna use the car as much as I can so will swap it for a non lsd, more safe & friendly....:drive:

Keep the LSD! You will get used to it.

Many on here break bones to get a LSD

ah now im on the same wave lenght..was thinking 10" wheels were very small.. lol... ya she must be some bitch on the corners.. a stock diff will be grand for your setup mate.. sell on the lsd and box and get a good standard one.. dont swap mate ull get a good bit for your box with that lsd in it

Go and do some slow figure of 8's, in both directions. Usually helps to free up the diffs + make them less clunky.

i think i've a diff in my glanza but am i right in sayin that when you take a corner the car steering gets stiff and is hard to turn and when i lift off the accelerator the car makes a clunky noise?
also when i turn and let go of the steering wheel the steering wheel springs back to the straight position really fast? that means i've a diff right?

when i launched the car the other nite the car just pulled wherever i have the steering wheel facing?

does this sound correct?

The way to tell if you have a diff is to jack the front up and turn one wheel if the other turns with it then you got a diff
