Apart from being surprised at how much the diff moves, is this showing that the rear bush is cactus? It was replaced with a Superpro by Pat's team at Wholesale suspension some time ago along with the rest of the rear suspension bushes, Koni adjustables and HD springs. All of this was to control what was bad axle tramp in the wet or dry. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear the point at which it bangs but can't see any discernible movement of the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the original they could be past their life and not keeping control therefor contributing to axel tramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the car only just start doing this lately? If so, I'd say something is shot, could always try winding the rear shocks up harder. I was going to do that in mine. Never got around to it. But after just watching your 2nd vid, those rear arms don't seem to be doing what the diff bush is anyway. Have you checked the bush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that though, I went back twice to get the shocks cranked firmer as it was still tramping. I have never managed to get rid of it completely. In the wet, I just accept that I have to drive like grandma as it tramps badly. If the car starts to spin and I crank it so that the back slews slightly then it won't tramp. I might take the shocks off and give them another turn.If I look closely at the rear bush, Should I be able to see a slight gap (about 3 or 4mm I suggest) at the top as it goes under load? How do I check the bush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need new bushes and probably not comfort series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
