Whats crack? (welded diffs)

[Joe]

I have just got my welded diff and landy shocks in and the indersteer is un real, its driving me insane mind its good for doing doughnuts but i cant drift aswell as i used to be able to does anyone eles have this problem. Why do they understeer so much ?

[volvodspec]

understeer? i have zero problems with that; it has a normal steering character on cornering but give too much throttle and you get instantly oversteer. today in the snow/ice i had some understeer difficulties; but that's due to wide tyres and slicks on the back..

what tyresize do you have on the front and back; what condition are your tires and what brand and type of tyres do you have???

its the same here but you will get used to it i have had a welder in both my 300s for the last 2 years and love it
just clutch kick and it changes to oversteer
kev

I just have the standerd tyers on, i dont know what size they are am sure 1 off you will know and they are toyo tyers which are good tyers full tread.

i have been but i find it a big gay lol i did a skandanivan flick and foooking s**t myself they normaly end in a big drift insted it ended up going towards the middle off the roundabout :0

Have you upgraded the front suspension? The combination of a welded diff and land rover shocks on the rear can't be helping if the shocks on the front are still standard.

[griffo20022]

Welded diffs understeer more so because the inside wheels are trying to put as much power down as the inside wheels so it doesn't give much leaway to steering, thats why they skip when turning at low speeds. all part n parcel to owning a welded diff. The positive sides greatly outweigh this imo. As others have said little things like stiffening up the front suspension to match the landy shocks etc. will help counter it but all in all don't worry about it.

I havent done anything to my front suspesion i still need to lower it !!!! I am sort off getting use to it tho

[mat_91]

ive got same on the back of mine but my front has got -40mm spax lowering spings standard shocks at mo
but tyres makes a hell lot of difference im running some 195 50 15 and they are budgets at that
and i get no under steer even in the wet having standard suspension and standardtyres make
all the differnece what tyres are you running size wise

[Joe]

155/13 there just cheap ones don't have the money for good tyers

[mat_91]

yer thats your problem get something wider
and some better tyres mines on a tight budget
just look in your local adverts pages
there loads of alloys in there usual cheap
hope that helps
