IS this normal?

While out hooning yesterday, I noticed that every now and again when I burnout I only spin up one wheel and not the usual two. Is it normal for suregrip axles to do this or do I have a problem lingering?

Sounds like the sure grip is on it's way out, that's the usual symptoms....

Bugger! If that the case, are they difficult to rebuild? Or would it be cheaper/easier to replace?

are they difficult to rebuild

Depends if it's cone type or clutch type. Not 'sure' if the 8 1/4 came with both flavours. As Dunc said, yer better off with an 8.75, but you're in for at least a monkey from scratch.....

This may sound a bit thick but would it help it any if I out fresh diff oil in it? As I havent got a clue when it was last done, I've had it for a year and I havn't done it yet. Its always been one of those jobs I'm always going to do tomorrow.

When it's shagged it's shagged, mate. Sorry. (Is there any oil in it?

)

Thats a bloody good question

It doesn't whine so I would say yes. (I hope) What grade do they use (just in case

) as I'd rather it didn't give out before or at the Euronats

Daft question but how do you get the oil in? does it have a plug?

Kev · Post by **Kev** » Mon Jun 26, 06 11:59 pm

Ya! Plug on the side on an 8.75". Car at ride height, fill with oil 'til it comes out the hole.
