Rearend Problem

has this happened to anyone else and what can it be ?
ok when going say 45 mph then making a right hand turn and not slowing down alot, when i turn right i brake for a second then make the turn and as i'm turning say 1/2 way through the turn i give it some gas to get going again and when i do that it's like the rearend takes a sec to make the right wheel turn and then it grabs. its almost like putting it in nuetral then back to drive and when that happens it's like doing a light neutral slam the tire spins a little. i went to dealer and they said its normal because of the type of rearend i have limited slip 3.23

that is NOT normal. i have the same rear and it has never done anything remotely like that. don't know what it could be, though.

maybe you should post this in the "drivetrain" section.

what kind of diff do you have?

If its an auburn ,perhaps your clutches are toast.. This would cause the power to be fed only to your inside rear wheel while turning, causing it to spin.

If you have a torsen, well they generally don't wear out.. but normally with a T2 torsen, when one wheel _totally_ loses traction, the power will be fed just to that wheel.. Thats why anyone with a Torsen on a offroad vehicle that lifts one wheel off the ground, they actually suggest lightly using the brakes, to put some resistance back to the free wheel to help the Torsen transfer to the tq right... Also, lots of agressive autox/rr folks feel this.. If you have an nice T2R though, it is preloaded and virtually eliminates this problem....

Reason why the inside wheel can lose traction in the middle of a turn is because the outside wheel has to spin slightly faster than the inside wheel.

You could be hitting your turn so hard that the inside tire is unloading and spinning then when it settles it grabs.
