So, when I turn right, it feels like a wheel is jumping. When I turn left, it's slide as usual. I'm pretty sure that's a diff issue, but I just wanted to get some other opinions. I haven't lifted up the car yet. Just happened to be fooling around this weekend and noticed it.

Thanks in advance.

 

no VLSD!

 

Open diff? VLSD? Worn out VLSD? Sounds like an open diff + shot differential bushings and/or too much grip.

 

My car is a 03 G35 Sport with Brembos, so I'm pretty sure it came with a VLSD. My thinking is that it's worn out. It's got 95k on it and I honestly don't know when these things typically go. I haven't changed the fluids in it recently, but that's mainly because I don't drive it much (1k-3k/yr). Just wanted some ideas on where to look. I know aftermarkets are gonna run me a solid grand (or thereabouts).

 

If it's the sport it has a VLSD, yeah. Well, it sounds as though you're going to be looking back there anyway so I'd definitely check the bushings and make sure it isn't just them being ruined. New bushings can make a world of difference.

 

I would've never even thought of that. Thanks man. I think I'm gonna set aside some time this weekend at put my car n the air. Really eyeball what I got going on under there.

 

No problem dude. Look at the main diff bushing that rests in the subframe on the back of the diff, when I got mine up in the air that thing was so torched it wasn't even funny. Replaced it with SPL solids and my rear end is solid as a rock now, feels awesome.
