Twin Cam Drive Shafts.

[ausca62]

Hi guys, I want to lock the diff in my wife's Seca. I would love an LSD but for the $$$ I have been told by a guy that a mob in Dandenong do drive shaft upgrades. I think with camry CV joints. Has any body on here herd of this or what do you do.??

 

Does anyone have an LSD for sale??

 

Cheers. Paul.

Well, if you decide to weld it up, don't weld the spider teeth to each other.

 

Fill a spider tooth gap with weld, then go to the opposite side and fill the tooth over there with weld. The next spider gears should hit those weld spots at the same time.

 

What you are doing is making it impossible for the spider gears to do a full circle, but they can go around part of it. This give you some difference in the turning circle of the front wheels so the car does turn in a little before the wheels lock together.

 

If you weld the teeth of the spider gears together the wheels are locked together in rotation and the car will want to understeer everywhere.

 

Seeing FWD understeer anyway, it will end up a pig to drive! Drive someone else's FWD with a locked diff before you do it.

 

 

I wouldn't lock it myself, I expect it will ruin the handling even moreso than a RWD. Front tyres... gone by lunchtime!

Does your wife want a locker in the front? That could be a nasty surprise!
