just had my kaaz rear installed and everytime time i turn going slow the rear end shakes as if its having a real hard time and it makes a loud sound.... but this only happens when im turning slowly..other than that its fine...i asked my mechanic about it and he said its normal on those kaaz diffs...just wondering if anyone else is had this problem with the kaaz lsd...

thx

 

I've heard they were loud too....makes a clicking noise or something?

 

yea the clicking sound is pretty loud but my exhaust is a little louder so i dont hear it much...but the shaking is what worries me....but maybe i have to break it in first...it only has 300 miles on it...

 

Yep sounds about right then. Its just when you are turning slow, the way it compensates wheel rotation is going to give you that effect. Its great for racing but a pain on the street.

 

its more of a LOUDASS CLUNKING! i can't take that noise.... i am running a stock T2 clutch LSD... same thing just less noise!

 

you run a stock T2 rear in an FD?









I'm a bastard.

 

I was getting ready to order the Kaaz unit and Rocky at RX-7.com talked me out of it. He said they run a tII rear in their FD too. It is bulletproof. I decided to rebuild mine for good measure. Nice and quiet. I had a bad thrust bearing so we tore it down and rebuilt the entire unit. Mazdaspeed discount saved me a lot of money.



I hear the Kaaz is an awesome unit. You'll like it if you race a lot.

 

the kaaz is VERY strong but a T2 is just as strong. kaaz told me their clutch pack is huuuuuge but in reality it can't be any bigger than a stock T2 unit.... you can thank boostn7 for this wise piece of info. he is the MAN!

 

The clunking is the locking and unlocking of the differential. Most lockers do it. Completely normal.

 

it may be normal for those but i don't like it at all. feels like the car is gonna fall apart my RE-Amemiya does that ......... i thought it was broken but its normal!
