Question for you VS Warriors!
After getting my new springs installed I noticed that some of the rear trailing arm bushings were bad so I decided to replace them all. It took only 45 minutes to install all of the bushings EXCEPT for the bushings pressed in the rear Diff. Those took a 2 hours along of struggles with threaded rods & cups from the bearing press. what a PIA!
When I checked the fluid in my rear diff (It's Positraction) there was a LOT of pressure (like unscrewing an A/C line) being released. Fluid was full and clean. The car had sat for hours before I removed it. I took the little cap on top of the diff off and it had a rubber seal with a spring inside of it which I assume is some sort of vent. I cleaned it and reinstalled. What the hell is that??? Where is the Pressure from !?!?!? WTH!?!?
I've done a TON of work to this POS and now I'm down the rabbit hole to make it reliable. I had to R&R the entire dashboard just to replace the evaporator last night.
