i have a welded rear diff on my 93 240sx. it squeaks when i turn sometimes. is it because it needs to get balanced. and what is the worse thing that can happen if i keep driving it?

Did you not like the answers you got in your other thread?

When a differential is welded, well, its no longer a differential. Both rear wheels turn at the same rate always. So when you turn and the inside wheel travels a shorter arc than the outside wheel, you get the noise of the wheel breaking traction.

I know a lot of other people feel differently, but I would never daily a welded diff.

LOL, You dont make sence. If the diff is welded then there is nothing wrong with the car. How do you plan to drift with such little knowledge?

when a diff is welded its gonna make all kinds of noises, also your attitude is silly, with all this owned stuff.

u just owned urself for not knowing a damn thing about how differentials work and what happens when u weld them. seriously, u had two options, study and keep ur mouth shut or open it and prove urself an idiot. u picked wrong.
