Default My turn for some differential work
A while back I posted a question somewhere on this site regarding the bouncing and chattering I was feeling from the front end wildst tuning sharply at slow speeds. Well I figured it out.

It's not the front end, but rather it's the rear end. Ever since installing those sticky Goodyear Racing Tires, and the fact that I have a full locker. The tires don't slip/give like the other tires when I'm turning sharply at slow speeds, and so when I'm turning the rear tires stick, skip and jump. Thus chattering the whole car.

The full locker is just too much, and I know I have a 28-spline 9". After hearing the recent stories and knowing the horsepower I have, I think it best to upgrade to a 31 spline with limited slip set-up. I'll pull the differential next weekend, and take it in to Dan for a diagnostic.

Is everything I'm saying and doing making sense?
