Car clunks bad under acceleration from pass side.
I've never seen or heard of this happening on our cars, but I think my rear diff is shot. I can turn the driver side rear wheel between 1/8th and 1/4 turn before the pass side even engages, and when it does it sounds pretty crappy. If I turn the driveshaft, same thing. WAAY to much turning to engage the wheels. I thought my ring and pinion was all out of whack or falling out so I took the cover off and repeated. All the slack is in the actual differential. The ring gear still has the normal spec play in it from when I set it up a few years ago. I took the diff out, but I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. How the hell does the LSD work in our cars?
Either I'm crazy confused or I have an open 4 bolt rear end.
The housing in my car is the original 1990 3 bolt housing out of Nate's yellow race car. The ring/pinion and diff are out of an EVO 1, the 4 bolt axles are out of some piece of crap automatic that Nate junked like a decade ago.
I find it hard to believe that an evo 1 has an open rear, or that it had enough miles on it to do this. I know the rear was from an evo1 because it's got the 3.909 gears and 2g style splined axles.
Opinions?
I think I have another rear diff somewhere, I hope.
