I was talking to a mate of mine the other day and he said using a mini-spool will **** the rear end of my car is this true and what parts of the rear end will it break?
It 'can' be harsh on factory rubber rear end bushes and controll arms. Nolathane bushes may reduce the wear. Turning corners with a locked diff will 'wind' up your rear end until one tyre skips, hence why axles and other suspension parts wear prematurely. If it's mainly for drags and straight line stuff you won't have a problem, just turning corners and street driving.
so the best idea on the street is dont turn corners to sharp and too slow
Is their anything you can do to the suspension setup to take some of the pressure off the exles with a minispool?
seriously tho.. the only time ur spool will be of any concern to you is when ur backing out of ur driveway, when ur turning into carparks at teh shops, when ur doin culda sack u turns or umm goin through a KFC drive through. spools also suck if u have to push ur car at some stage.. specially backwards LOL.. kinda hard and they kinda do suck for tyre wear.. but if ur putting the spool to good use, tyre wear will be the least of ur worries anyway...
i rekon the marks left from a car dropping a skids off lights with a spool is fat..
but for normal steet driving day to day ****. u really wont have many problems. keep an eye on the bushes in the rear everynow and then. replace any bushes that are split or broken or wateva. and replace ur diff oil more regularly than u would with an lsd centre.
spools rock !
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
spools definately rock man. nothin like the sound of a spool diff'd car doin a slow u turne. lol jk nah i got a spool man, its great, easyer than LSD to control in the wet. just plain fun.
but id suggest borrowin ur mums car if ur takin a girl out for the first time lol...
yeah just fick it out sideways and see her **** her self
OK so keep and eye on the bushes for wear
would an adjustable panhard bar make any difference to the diff/axles with a lowerd car?
