Gloo Member 403 Member For: 16y 6m 21d Gender: Male Location: Northern South Australia Posted 09/05/10 08:54 AM Share Posted 09/05/10 08:54 AM Im finding it wont tramp now that I have worn alot of the tread down. 3rd still tramps and 2nd tramps in a straight line but slides plenty well... I would like to get some decent tyres once these are worn, I assume my tramps issues will only get worse with better quailty tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has spent a fair bit at fords for lots of driveline issues. Im not changing anything on the car untill its all fixed. My dealers being a *beep* and I dont want anything biting me on the bum. Car might not tramp once the new diff goes in, if it doesnt ill spend the cash on engine mods. Cant wait for tax... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression the only kit really reliable (meaning not exploding CV's) was the Herrod one. How have the super lows gone for you mate?

How have the super lows gone for you mate?Heya Deebs,Originally it had SSL in the front with reset rears (SSL height so I actually raised it to Super Lows. My CV is fine but I don't give it a super hard time, with that I mean I still have fun and wear out the rear tyres, but I don't load the driveline up to ridiculous levels. When you start doing that things will simply break. A mate of mine used to rev his car at 4K and side his foot sideways off the clutch, and then wondered why the axles keep breaking Having said that, I do acknowledge the CV appears to be the weakpoint for the ZF equipped Utes.
