hey kids,


yesterday while dirving at 80km/h my car suddenly slow right down to about 20km/h. I was thinking it was one of my rear caliper locked on or that my hub was seized. But having jacked the car up today and having the car in 1st(while the rear wheels are off the ground) it sounds like the problem is at the diff.
It's a real grinding noise (metal on metal) and clunks when you turn the wheel back and forth (both sides).

the diff has just been (apparantly) shimmed and its a r32gtst vlsd.

It looked pretty fresh inside when i installed it about a month ago

also i'm heading to the pits this week so it's kinda urgent

cheers, stuey

Maybe drain the diff oil and inspect that. If theres bulk bits of metal or it comes out looking like dark metallic coloured paint then theres probably something wrong inside :D
