RE: Rear end / rear axle weaknesses on S197 GTs

Sleeper, I used an Auburn Pro diff and it gernaded on me after a couple months. I know you must use regular gear oil in it, no synthetics. The friction modifier should help, it shouldn't be chirping the inside tire around turns if it is it's not unlocking. In that case you might as well have a spool.

+1 - a spool or a tru trac locker is about the best options(s).

Quickbus - From the pic it looks like you can't use the axel brace if you have the swaybar relocated. (bmr relocation bracket) The swaybar relocation is a neccessarry mod for running 15" wheels. Have you heard if this is true?

Well, my swaybar has been relocated for 15" wheels because I plan to do run them in the future. I don't have the BMR relocation brackets mine are from CHE but they are identical.
