Hi there,
At the risk of asking some trivia: my griff's behaviour at "cornering strongly under power" is to "move the back-end" on a rather special way: not firm and linear-to-the-momentum, but sudden and rather like a "salsa" move (sorry for the comparison my english is too poor to express this precisely...).
Is this behaviour typicall of the griffs? is there a "typical remedy" ?
Thanks in advance for any hints/explanations on this (My Griff is a 94 500).

Im no expert but I had something similar when my ARB drop links were getting a bit tired. Even when new I dont thing they ever worked particularly well. Changed them for rose jointed jobbies and the handling was transformed. Hopefully an expert will be along shortly to tell you whats really wrong !

Also check the condition of the differential mounting bushes, there should be no 'slop' at all.

New rose jointed ARB transformed mine too. Also, what rear tyres and pressures are you running?

That (tyres and pressure) is what I have been running. May be worth looking at your shocks too? Or, it could be your right foot?

My first thought was - too much club. You can test this by trying a little more and if you spin right round, then yes, it's you biggrin
