Problems after fitting an LSD

We recently received an e-mail from a customer experiencing problems after installing a KAAZ LSD (DBW3010) on his BMW E30.

He says after installation he has “found some vibration when taking a slow turn on the right and left” and asked us what might be the cause of these vibrations.

We explained to the customer that sometimes because the LSD tightens everything up, it just highlights other problems which already existed on car, but were not affected by a relaxed open diff.  So the problem could be a worn bush, a bent arm or something.

We also highlighted a similar problem we have experienced where an Impreza pulled to one side after an LSD was fitted. It turned out that the car was twisted at the rear where the diff mounted onto the body of the car!  Yet it didn’t show up so bad when the OE open diff was fitted.

Had a similar experience? Share it with us.
