    Default diff bounce

    Hi,Just wondering if many people have had trouble with diff bounce when starting at the drags,i have a manual irs clubsport,A suspension shop has told me it is probably a bush that holds the diff to the body at the back.cheers

    It's called tramping. With the older cars it would be a matter of some tramper bars to help stabilize the diff from moving. Maybe check your bushes and try different profile rims/tyres.

    check your control arm bushes, that will help a bit if they are worn, but more than likely your springs are too hard
