Differential should spin smoothly?
« on: February 25, 2008, 10:09:57 AM »
I'm removing my open diff and replacing it with a newer medium case LSD. If I spin the output flanges on the open diff, it feels rough (it alternates between being hard to spin and easy to spin every few degrees of rotation). This isn't correct, is it?

I suspected the differential was bad given some issues I was having...I just wanted to confirm that spinning a output shaft/flange on an open diff shouldn't feel notchy.
