So tonight i come home and i make a slow U turn in my parking lot at a very low speed, and i feel what seems to be the rear end wanting to lock up. So i do a few more u turns and same thing.
It seems like the rear wants to lock up but while i'm making the U turn in either direction one of the rear wheels breaks tread. I thought that maybe it was because the ground is a little wet so i take it down the street and make a U turn at a faster speed and no issue what so ever. It seems to only do it when i'm going slower speeds. Any Ideas?

 

Low rear diff fluid?

 

Do you have redline shockproof 75-150 in your rear end?

 

well I brought my car to a buddy of mine and he is saying that its the T-Case. He said since I have an 03 it doesn't have LSD and my T-case is going and that's what's causing the problem in the rear end. Me not being to knowledgeable in the driverrain of the car, I have no clue. I thought it was the rear diff though.

 

i would say low fluid bad rear diff. t-case would whine

 

it whines but only when in gear and decelerating. I don't see how it could be the t-case but i don't know. I'm still thinking its just the rear diff.

 

03 doesn't have LSD? All evo has LSD even your 03, the 03 just don't have ACD.

 

all evos have a lsd rear, some (rs and mr) have lsd in the front as well. early transfercases are viscous coupler units. later transfeercases are the acd units

 

is it like a real heavy click / binding??? have seen this before from rear diffs. removed rear diff, cleaned out all of old fluid with a solvent like brake clean, then refilled with fresh fluid

 

A thought..... real LSD normaly need a "LSD Addative" if the fluid was changed w/ generic offbrand gear lube w/ no addative can cause sticking in the diff>>>>

LSD's do that. Change out the fluid if it has not been done before.

 

I stand corrected, i meant I have no ACD since i have an 03. There is no cliking or binding noise. It just seems like when i turn, the rear end wants to lock up. only at a slow speed though.

 

03-04's do not have a front LSD. The only 04' that does is the RS. 05-06's all have front LSD's no matter the model...

Nevermind....I see we are talking about rears...lol

 

Can you confirm you have the same size wheels/tires on all 4 corners?

 

confirmed same size tires and wheels.
