Hi,

Whilst preparing to remove the IRS assembly, i noticed something strange - the diff seems to be permently locked ie both wheels freely rotate backwards and forwards together, but you cannot turn one wheel if the other is held. Am I seeing the effects of the PowerLoc assembly or is there (as I suspect) a fault with the diff assembly?

Cheers.

So the behaviour I am seeing is normal with a Power Loc diff? I need to read up about how this diff works in compariosn to a normal LSD then as it must be different.

Thanks.
