I just bought a new OBX lsd for my b16 tranny..When i opened the original box and take it in to the hands something rumble in to the LSD when I shake it...Is this normal?

 

anyone?

 

I believe people have talked before about how they had to take them apart and tighten a few things down before installing them.

 

It could be normal or it could be wrong. You need to take it apart to check it out. Nothing rattles in a new Quaife.

 

Mine does the same thing, I dont hvae mine in yet but when you shake it there is something that can move inside of it. I would think this is normal with all LSDs when you shake them.

 

my obx had a little rattle inside when I installed it..never had a problem yet.

 

look man..i'm from europe, and this obx costs me 500$ with all taxes..For QUAIFE 1300$ is not enough..It's a big difference..

Honestly, rattling inside an LSD is not good. I have never heard a Quaife rattle and have never heard an OEM LSD rattle, so obviously something is wrong. Either open it up and figure out what it is or send it back and get a quality LSD. I don't understand why someone would buy an OBX over an OEM ITR LSD seeing as how the ITR LSD is ~$200 less and is not a total piece of ****......

 

well said!!!

maybe because itr lsd's will gernade when you actually put power through them....its been proven the obx can handle the power..

Well anyone making enough HP to grenade an ITR LSD has spent some money on building and turboing a motor. Like tuning, a good drivetrain is a necessary part of any high performance build. I have no problems with my ITR LSD and over 360 whp, maybe because I'm not launching the **** out of mine.....

The OBX may handle power, but good luck getting the axles out of it, and now this one rattles? The gears inside are horrible finished and the quality is just not there. Gimme a break, it is just like any other OBX product, a piece of shiny ****!

Where did i say anything about quality? Im well aware the quaife is a MUCH nicer piece. based on personal experience i still think the obx is better than an oem LSD. Mine didn't last long once the car ran hard with slicks...it was fine for daily driving, etc but just couldn't handle the abuse.

 

i've been running my obx lsd in my car for over 9 months with no problems what so ever.

 

well i just bought my obx lsd ill shake it when i get it and tell ya if it does the same

 

The rattle inside the OBX diff is due to one of the monkeys on the OBX production line. They probably dropped a banana skin in the diff

 

ya that stuff is scary

 

hahaha the BS talk on H-T never seazes to amaze me

the OBX LSD is so far the only product worth money on the OBX lineup

my friend mistabone has compared it to the quaife, and they are identical

 

my d series rattles too

^^^Refer to bolded.... that's a rip off if the quaife is 1300. I was out the door with mine in my hand for $928 after taxes/shipping.

Identical?? Besides the fact that you need to replace the grade 2 bolts they use to hold it together lol. And you also need to take it apart and assemble it the correct way, because OBX has no idea how to.

Also the heat transfer is different, and that is what causes the axles to get stuck.

Other than that it's great piece
