    Default Diff screwed?

    Hi guys,

    I buckled 2 of my rims a while ago and drove on them for a few thousand kms (front LHS and rear LHS wheels). Now... i'm not sure if it has always done this (even before buckled wheels), but if i spin the wheels up in the wet whilst directing the car straight forward (even on a flat surface) i get a lot of axle hop (if that's what you call it?). They don't just spin smoothly but bounce. This happens in reverse too. Not sure if this is normal, as i never noticed it before. Could my diff be screwed from driving on the buckled wheels?

    Thanks.

    axle tramp can be pretty common, mine does it occasionally, basically what its doing is the wheel is trying to grip but slips, kind of thing, and as such bounces up and down
