Hey,

Just bought a BF and last night it was a little wet. Taking off full throttle in first the car starts to lose traction. I get this incredibly loud banging sound, roughly 3 or 4 in a row depending on how long I keep the throttle on when it starts to lose traction.

What is this? It sort of feels like axle tramp, but I am not sure if this is correct. I believe the diff bush is a little shagged according to the previous owner, but I haven't had a look at it yet. I was driving with traction control off. The car is a manual.

If you guys could shed some light on this that would be great.

Cheers.

Axle tramp....no question.....mine does exactly the same in the same circumstance.... :bowdown:

sounds like the diff is trying to jump into the boot eh'..... :stupid:

Modified my driving style and it doesn't happen anymore....well...not as much anyway :bowdown:

Replace the blade link rubber bushes with polyurethane ones and that will solve the tramp.

Tramp can quickly find weak links in drivelines, so may be a good idea to do soon. This will quickly stuff the rear diff bush.

The blade link std bushes are pretty much useless.

Good advice above. Not sure about turning the traction control off. Why would you bother?? Traction has never been controlled!!!
