wheel bearing gone?

[walace]

just wondering what it cost to get wheel bearing done and what a mini spool does for the diff?

[hako]

Front or rear?

[walace]

its in the rear end.. and whats a mini spool and anyway 2 make the diff a lsd with out changing it?

[hako]

Do a GOOGLE search for 'mini spool' and all will be revealed. Re the bearing, the biggest cost will be labour as the bearings are usually under $20 each but the axle has to be pulled and the bearing pressed on/off etc.

mini spool will lock both your back wheels together

[Patrio7]

or a different way of explaining it

a LSD will use little clutches to help stop one wheel spinning while the other does nothing [like say you turn and boot it the inside wheel will fry while the outside will do nothing, with LSD it'll stop them spinning independantly to a point.

a mini spool is a straight lock of the diff. they are simpler than a LSD [no clutches] and dont wear out [as far as i know, stealthy, correct me here if applicable]

the downside is that if you were goign to use your car on a circuit a lsd would allow a little wheel difference to occur [such as cornering where the difference is normal] a minispool will not allow this to happen so one or both of the wheels may skip or vibrate a little. once again i call on stealthy's experience.

*bows down*

oh wise spooler enlighten us! does hard acceleration around a corner [controled so as not to begin a slide or drift] cause any skipping or otherwise effects?

[CalaisVKiller]

I thought minispools were illeagal. Basically they lock both so they spin together great for two wheel burnouts . But they are highly dangerous in high speed corners (taking them too fast) which is why they're probably illegal

Yep, illegal.
