New Problem: AWD All wheels Locked ?
Posted: Wed May 07, 2003 5:31 pm
Yup, a new problem as raised in my car. I have noticed that over the past month or 2...
symptoms :
Yesterday i went to a friend's shop to get 2 used tires for AutoCrossing. The run was 20min. and i was travelling at 140-160km/h (i was a little late
) . Arrived at destination, i tryed to park in reverse. Turned the wheels max toward the right, and started backing. There was a weird feeling.. like if all 3 differentials were locked and i could ear some wheels scratching or sliding on the asphalt, (not turning). I had to give a lot of power to go reverse, and as soon as i push on the clutch, the car comes to a complete halt, insted of simply continuing on the push...
I put the wheels straight, and the car was OK. Left the car cooling down for 45-60 mins, and then everything was back to normal when turning the wheels to the max.
I had similar probs with my RS after long high-way runs ( but wayyyyy less dramatic) and the dealer said to me that it was caused by the rear LSD still being locked. But as far as i know, my 92 5mt Turbo Legacy dont have LSD !
What do you think ?
