but you do need slight slip in a road car so not too tight ( nowhere near kev sharp tight !)

as there are certain circumstances when there will be a differance in speed on the front to rear axles. not only that the tighter they are the hotter they run , and vc DONT like to run over approx 110 deg or they lock
