LSD rebuild?

[joe2006]

Both are standard 9 inch centres. One 3.25:1 behind a manual and the other 2.75:1 behind an auto. The auto has 195/70 14 tyres, so not a lot of rubber on the road. That one is also in a 200 series Volvo body with 350 Chev. So while the centre is standard, it has been modified for the Volvo axles and tubes.
All these things are becoming obsolete with traction control etc.
Apologies to the OP for being off topic.

sounds like a big lsd on low traction tires. the tire is slipping on the road before the lsd can slip to allow the car to turn.
not so much a problem in a nav with 8" diff and 29-31" tires.

When you asked what sort or 9" I really didn't know if you knew what I was on about. I assume that you do but just in case. Different location and you might not be as old as me

there is quite a few different lsd's/lockers etc available for popular diffs like ford 9" hence wondering which one you had installed.
sadly not much available for nissans.
i would love a torsen for the D23.

Pfff danggg another diff..

They have a tell!... they get tight before they go.. this diff has done the same, started chirping on the corners and yesterday started squealing.. dropped the oil, that was replaced 5000k ago, and its black and silver...

I'm betting the locking plates crack "they do, its a known fault " and the clips then bend, and that's what must be tightening the "pack" up.. then the clips eventually break and cause alll sorts of issues... I'm on the road so it'll be a centre and new wheel bearings, it sounded like fragments in the bearings and then the noise stopped ... has anyone tried the lokka and alike... Harrop is now $2fkn grand... uggggg
