Broken lsd?
Last friday I noticed for the third time (happened two times before) when driving off my car was making noise from the right rear wheel. Each time it didn't happen again after that, but this time I noticed a difference in the car. :'(

When pulling up slowly the car feels like it is being pushed (more like a kick) from the right rear wheel (first and second gear), also when slowing down by letting the gas go in third and second it feels like the car is being slowed down on the right rear wheel.

Could a broken lsd cause this? Being stuck to the right or something? Dumb question

If it's only on one side I would first consider faulty brakes, then faulty wheel bearing, and when you've checked those (and ony after that) would I consider the problem to be in the LSD.
Maybe a caliper is sticking, maybe a caliper bolt came loose (like it did on my car). If it's your wheel bearing it's going to make a lot of noise pretty soon. My best bet would be something in the brakes.

Hmmm, that's a good one. I think I'll check the brakes. Ofcourse I did work on the brakes a while ago so perhaps the bolt came loose. Smile
Thanks! Thumbs up!

Okay... It was not a broken LSD. Confused
It turned out two of the links were broken. Sad

DAMN Huh Huh
What is that stuff where the bushings are supposed to be? I thought you had pillow-ball 4-links under that trueno but this looks more like steel bushings.
If i remember correctly Mux still had some of these links from his spare axle.. I think I might have one from nohachi's old celica axle in the basement as well but that's not going to help much is it.

How could this happen?Extreme speed over bumps or something?Maybe wrong installation of the links?
Bizarre thing is I didn't drove wild / extreme etc with the car, while TE71Corolla threw it into every corner he could find. It just broke while speeding away after parking the car (second one) and after stopping for an old lady to cross the road (first one). Huh

All four links are tailor made, so they are thinner (to save weight?) and probably weaker. They used to be under Kees's car and after that TE71Corolla mounted them under mine. So I guess it's just age which caused it. Wink

Lucky enough I drove very carefully after it happened, so hopefully no damage to the axle and prop. Smile

Nylon bushing. Wink
And they are already swapped. Smile

Believe me: these links have proved their right for existence. Wink
Breaking one would put all the stress on the other links, so it's quite logical for the other to break shortly after the first.

But I'm not aiming to make my car a mean drift machine, it's a daily beater. Stock links would suit such purpose fine. Wink
