rear tyres scrubbing?

[Bradders901]

Hi

Bit of a tough one to describe but I have noticed with my 1400 miles C63 coupe what I would describe as scrubbing when taking a tight turn - not necessarily full lock but near to it, into say a side road - not at any speed, generally at rolling speed. My RS4 used to do this when reversing out of my drive when it was cold but this is different.

I was wondering if it was something to do with the LSD that is fitted (which needs it running in oil change soon).

Anyone - bit of a tough one i know but perhaps someone else has experienced this?

I'd be backing this is diff related. I would get the oil changed ASAP and see if it helps

Yeah id say diff too. Standard rims and tyres shouldn't scrub like that.

Thanks - it is quite annoying - diff is due to have oil changed next week when I hit the 1800 odd miles mark - if it still does it I will be taking it in to the dealer for a closer look.

Yes, would be worth getting it checked when it's in the workshop.

Brings back memories of the noisy LSD in the E46 M3. Sorted by using a special friction modified diff oil and then a series of figure of 8 turns in a parking lot!!
I believe these clutch pack types of locking diff need a special running in formulation of diff oil from the factory - hence the importance of the early diff oil change. The oil has probably just done its job "running in" your diff and is due for a change, be very surprised if this does not fix it

I posted on mbworld forum and got a few replies saying it is normal with the factory fitted diff...
