    The subframe mounts are brand new, Solid Condor mounts, the diff bushing was shot. I now replaced it and will be doing second mount today.
    Hopefully it will fix some of the issues I have been having
    Does an LSD behave like an open diff when it's shot? As in if i'm burning one tire much more than the other, does that mean my diff clutches are toasted?

    Are your subframe+diff bushings completely shot or something? That's the only way I can see the diff shifting on a horizontal axis.

    Vertical though? I'd say it's probably flexing pretty good. If there's a gap between the new mount and the floor don't push the diff up to get it to touch - that's gonna change your pinion angle. Use a piece of aluminum/steel/rubber or something to take up the excess space, drill holes where necessary and boom you're good to go

    Don't know what's up with the hard pull though

    I don't, you are right.
    I have an hard left pull under heavy acceleration, just before the tires brake loose
    I though of it being the diff twisting under torque and lifting the wheel.

    @shiboujin What rear end setup do you use ? Suspension/diff/tires?

    How do you know it twists?

    LS1 rear diff dual ear

    I've been driving my swap for about 1 month now, and the car twists so hard under hard acceleration is scary...
    Anyway does anyone have a picture of Garret's differential mount installed on the car?
    I fitted the piece on the diff cover, but the two side pieces are kinda far from the boot floor. I know I have to put some pressure on the diff, should I try and get them to line up with the hole on original ear?
    Thanks
Working...
