axle still binding???

[Bruno D.]

i got a jdm b16 with lsd. i used the integra driverside mount the rest are my civic mounts . i had a sohc mount on the driver side an the axles binded . i changed the mount an now its not as bad but it still binds a little . if anyone has some ideals i need this fixed .oh yeah when you jack the car up an spin the tires it doesn't do it only when its on the ground.goes good straight but binds in turns?

 

[Bruno D.]

am i the only one thats had this prob.?

try jacking the car up and turning the wheels, have them at full cock either right or left, then spin the wheels by hand, are the axles making contact with anything?? Sometimes people attach the bottom of the strut backwards to the lower control arm and the axle will hit it when the wheels are turned, not calling you stupid, but it's a mistake that can happen. If the axles aren't making contact with anything then repeat the process with the wheels on the ground and try to look (may be more difficult to look under the car while it is on the ground) see if the axles are hitting anything.
if the axles aren't making contact with anything and the car binds when you are trying to drive it, then you may have a bad differential, causing the wheels to try to turn at the same rate around a corner, making it difficult or impossible to steer.
Check your tranny fluid and make sure you have the right amount and correct type of fluid.
if you are still having aproblem and you can't find the culprit, them maybe your differential is bad.

we tried jackin the car up an its fine . its only when you put load on it i used 2 qrts gm syncromesh in it . its only when you turn its goes good straight . thanx 4 some info this sux .

so then it's prolly your differential is bad, like it's trying to skip the wheels across the pavement. That sucks bro, I don't know what fluid you are supposed to use in the LSD, just how it works, and how it's supposed to act.

 

[Bruno D.]

so how would make sure thats the prob?

Try putting some LSD additive stuff in, this happend to my buddies EF hatch with a B16w/LSD tranny and thats what he did and it fixed the problem.

the guy i bought it from said some lsd tranny's you have to engage the clutch during turns . some opions please

do figure eight's in a parking lot

the guy i bought it from said some lsd tranny's you have to engage the clutch during turns . some opions please

did this same guy tell you that you should engage the clutch going downhill as well?

neither is true lol

 

[Bruno D.]

i figured , i'm goin now to buy a additive if that dont work i'm sendin it back . thanx

 

[Bruno D.]

well i went to drive the car an it worked if i engage the clutch it doesn't do it . so i had to get a p28 cause the p30 <jdm> was throwin a t/c code so what i am thinkin is the t/c system triggers the lsd when you loose traction if i am wrong oh well but thats all i can think of . if the diff was trashed it would do with the clutch in or out , correct?

did you ever figure out exactly what was causing this binding because i have an eg civic with an h22a and my driver side axle is binding and i cant seem to figure it out?
