Welding the diff for LSD?
Discussion
Fine on track with the right set up - Those early 90's RS500 Cosworth Group-A cars with a spool diff worked just fine A spool is the same mechanically its just not done with a mig! it's a machined solid unit much like a go-kart.
If you go driftworks you'll find plenty of how to's in the forum section

Pants compared to a mig spec for getting the power down The only prob with a Quaife (or torsen) diff is that if you use the kerbs agressively and get a drive wheel airborne the unweighted wheel will spin away until it comes back to earth with the resulting shock load going through the drive train. Other than that they're pretty good stuff and don't wear out or need adjustment

Yes, I should have made that clearer - unless you're a very aggressive track driver or racer the Quaife diff is fine. I've had one on my caterham for quite a few years and many track miles with no issue.mmm-five said:
I thought the Quaife (torque biasing diff) put power to the wheel with most grip - i.e. if you hit a kerb and the wheel leaves the ground, then the wheel still on the ground will get the power?
It does, until one wheel has no grip at all and then it behaves like an open diff.Edited by phelix on Monday 28th April 10:50
