car doesnt seem to like going round tight corners/puling out of junctions!

could be, seems like its locking, have the R's got Lsd's as standard? seems as tho mine has been tinkered with, looks like its got solid engine mounts as i cant move the engine AT ALL and the rubbers are really hard, which would explain the vibrations i get through the steering wheel on idle!

if you have solid mounts then they will be....... solid:lol: meaning a single lump of rubber with no gaps. the R has a viscous rear lsd as standard.

i find its good for the back;-)weakboy2 said:
Mines stepped out a couple of times but I think that was due to different tyres on the rear. Generaly the grip is phernomenal and I have GAB adjustables all round, altho it was wierd to see your post as it sounded fairly similar with tight corners, thats the only time the car steps out.

i had this problem with a car last year. i changed everything in the rear running gear.
rear diff, hubs, rear calipers, transfer box, rear subframe, struts the lot.
it turned out to be the gearbox.
as you turn a tight corner, the rear wheels are forced around, if you do it on a loose surface you can see them struggle to grip.
and you have to increase the revs to force it round, doesnt feel good!

I use my R on the track and have not had this problem.
If I go in too hot, the car will drift rather than step out. I do have understeer but that's normal for 4WD especially if you put too much power down too early. The car is a bit flackie in the snow or on ice due to the 50 - 50 split front and rear and the back end will step out and tries to take over the front.

Have to say, mine steps the back end out quite easily, especially when turning on the sharp corners on the skidpan that is Asda car park. :roll:

its the gearbox that i had a problem with, not the centre diff(transfer box).
the symptoms were the same. the car was really hard to manouvere in tight angles. having to give it a load of throttle to make it turn.
spent weeks changing everything, then changed the gearbox and it was sorted.
the only thing i can think of, was before we bought the car, it had been towed 30 miles at 50mph, so i reckon that damaged the box

Have you looked at the rear camber setting? If this is set too much in the positive direction i would expect to see some loss in grip around tight cornering.
Make sure the tie bars on the rear aren't bent as this will cause an instability on the rear of the car.
I dont seem to have this problem, i have the car set to dig in on the front removing most of the understeer and with a few twitchs on the throttle im able to pull the rear end round without (most times) over cooking it.
Tyres could be another issue as already stated.

i didnt say it would:roll: . i will refrase the question as maybe im not explaining my self to clearly:youngsyp said:
Was there a problem with driving on the straight as well as when turning as i have no problem when driving in straight lines! this is the puzzling part as i would have thort if it was the gearbox then i would have an issue all the time, thats why i was asking wether irrvine had targeted the cause to the centre diff as if its not the diff how can the remaining parts in the gearbox cause these issues? expetially wen my gearbox is so smooth to drive with?
