Right, I am running the B4, and at Ardent raceway this weekend I was struggling with the car through left handers, I have replaced all the obvious things, rear hubs, tunbuckles, T-plate underneath etc... And after a quick run outside to check if it had solved itself, Nope! :cry:
What i have discovered is when I back off the throttle or return to neutral, the rear left wheel seems to go tight, it's as though there is drag brake on the left wheel only.
I have checked all the obvious and everything seems as smooth as a babies buttox! Any idea's on anything i could have over looked? Anything at all because im sat here now just scratching my head :(
Cheers guys.

Not that I can tell of, it's just when it's on the floor running, I have checked the drive shafts, bearings, wheel rub and all seems cool, not stripped the diff down yet but it feels ok, it's not tight or grinding.

Might sound daft, but check the rear hubs have the wheelbase washers in the same place. Check to see if you have put the driveshaft washers in the same place. Just thinking of little things that you might have missed that might cause something...

When your turning Left and the wieght is transferring to the front, the Rear is lifting. The wieght is also being transfrred to the Right as you said your turning Left, so...
When the Left Suspension arm is at Full Droop, i would take a good stab that the Drive Cup is getting caught on the brace on the suspension arm. This would cause the Left Wheel to go tight as you put it....
Or i could be talking Boll** :lol:

I will have a look at that in the day light tomorrow :thumbsup:
BUT...lol Even if you don't turn left and let off the throttle in a straight line, the car attempts/tries to pivot itself to the left on the left wheel..:cry:
Really want to get it figured out before worksop, or binned! one or the other :)

and check make sure u havent overtightened one wheel nut, or as mark said missing or damaged crush spacer
have you made sure there isnt any drag brake,2wd will always pull to one side if there is to much brake,switch everything on and see if the car rolls,if not,turn everything off and see if it rolls,

Or maybe it is the wheel bearing that is in need of replacing?
Is there any noise when it occurs?
Hey what about checking the drive shaft drive pins... sometimes if they are a bit worn they can slip inside the diff outdrive and lock it up, or, have you checked the spring inside the diff out is the correct length..?
