So far I haven't had as strong a "reaction" to the handling as Phil. I do feel a difference when the hubs are locked. I have had mine in snow with my aged tires and it chugs right through. I have not actually wheeled it yet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> One thought that I have on my versus Phil's first reactions is that I may have a more worn clutch pack. If you read my threads on the "The Project," you'll see a common theme the Quest donor being a rather worn out old gal.

Kevin_C has posted about R&R on the LSD using thicker shims to bring its 'friction' back into spec. Had I known more about things back when I put it in, I would have looked into that first. Also, there is a reported history of the LSD being prone to some sort of crack failure [in the carrier?]. Big Blue says he's seen a bunch, and poor Gragdweller found one the hard way (sorry again about that!). There is something that can be done to examine it.
