Default Quaife stuff...

What type of LSD is a Quaife? 1, 1.5, or 2-way?

Anyone experience any problems during the break-in period?

unlike the clutch-type LSDs, a Quayfe (Quaife) doe not require 'break-in'.

Im also curious as to what level it is.. it feels like it turns too much with a lot of torque. It also makes the axles work harder. I go through a pair of axles every 3 months or so.

I agree with you about the quaife. It does feel like it pulls too much with excessive torque. I though the quaife would eliminate torque steer.

yup, torque steer will occur. Especially when you have problems with motor mount(s), axles, or suspension alignment.

I had no front motor mount. Through a turn, at peak tq (4k-5k rpm) it would have lots of torque steer... killed the cv joints.
