just want to ask...what sort of rear diff are prefered...std, ATB or othres...and why ?

What is your opinion ??

 

I would prefer having VC or rather plaed diff in the rear diff, but on some cars other setups work - like Mike R's Escos. I don't think ATB type of diff is suited well for sideways action.

 

Thanks...but why isnt ATB type of diff is suited well for sideways action ?

Also...I'm not quite sure I know what VC or rather plaed diff in the rear diff are ??

 

Because it tries to aply torque to more loaded wheel changing the balance all the time, there is no locking action of any sort really, it just works in different fashion. Good for front diff though.


VC - viscous coupler - it is what is fitted as standard. Plated diff is most traditional limited slip diff type - friction plates oppose one wheel spining transfering the torque to the other wheel.

 

ok ..and thanks.

Where can I get a VC or Plated diff ...

 

Pm marco polo

 

thanks...I'll do that
