Reply to "Squealing noise when turning"

Fredrik, With the gearbox in neutral, the handbrake off, raise both the back wheels off the ground. Turn one wheel, what happens to the other?? it should turn in the same direction as the one you are trying to turn. Next, stop one wheel from turning, by wedging a block of wood or something under the tyre. Now try to turn the other one again. Does it turn easily? It should not turn easily, it should however turn if you grip it tightly and apply a good force, because you are overcoming the locking of the plates in the diff. If it does turn easily you have no locking in the diff, and the other wheel will turn in the opposite direction, because of the action of the sun and planet gears,when you remove the block. mail me at following address if you need more help.[URL=paul@flemingpaul.wanadoo.co.uk
