welded diff vs lsd???????????????

[JTDay]

Its 100% lock all of the time. Low budget drifters run them because theyre cheap and reasonably effective. Dangerous for street use. You should find an LSD

full lock welded is crazy on the street, although many, like me, run welded diffs on the street. you have to take it easy,especially when its wet.

Pros: full lock all the time. easy to get sideways improves acceleration. excellent for drifting ect. ect. cheap and very strong if done correctly.

Cons: full lock all the time. chirps in parking lots when turning tight and slowely. Diff noise and frequent fluid changes are a must. Dangerous in wet weather conditions.

Nice did you weld that, how does it drift with it welded like that?

I have a welded diff daily drive it and I took it on a road trip to Cali from Utah shitty gas millage but it did fine the whole way. I eventually plan to get an LSD though.

Wow..did someone actually think that's how it's done?

[sesco8]

also wen im parkin or slowing down in gear like in a red light i can hear a noise i think is the frkn drive shaft or something lolll idk

Don't run a welded diff on the street. You realize that when you're driving in a circle (or part of one during a turn), that your inside and outside wheels turn at different rates, right? Guess what happens when your rear tires are spinning at the same speed...

You go twice as fast?

Added cons: It increases wear on tires, and adds a lot of stress to your axles/bolts that hold the diff in place, and the axles into the diff. I had a halfshaft fall out recently (2,000 miles after putting the welded diff in) due to the bolts coming loose.

It is more dangerous than a open/LSD diff on the street. If you're going too fast for a turn, you're more likely to understeer from neither tire being able to change speed. You have to think about turns you wouldn't normally think about.

I don't think you're the type of person who should drive a car with a welded diff on the street.

Fixed.
