Daily Driving With a Welded Diff | How Bad Is It?

If you guys have any questions, comment it below :)

Run welded diff also no issue at all

this is your sign to just weld that shit man, it’s worth it :)

Seems like one you can lock and unlock would be preferable

I run 225 😅no longer just cuz I wanna help my axle no other reason

seems the only downside is you have to become a tire buyer all of the time.

Honestly when I welded the diff on my e46 i didn’t even notice a difference in daily driving ....but it slides super easy now best DIY I’ve done on the car 💯

U only weld ur diff if ur making a drift car that ur Gona take to the track and ppl that daily it go to takeovers cus think abt it

Welded my diff yesterday 💕 can't wait for the first rain :P (E36 1.6 😂)

Just broke minee🤣 today

If It’s raining and I end up sliding fug it dude I had some pretty slick tires for a bit; hit a little mud on the road, turn at the light; enjoy the show folks cause here goes tht rear end 🤣

Anti roll bar and lower arm bar support. Eliminates axel problem.

breaking axles only happens if the rear end is already weak. solid rear ford falcons just dont care

i daily drove a weld for ages. the turning circle isnt that much worse

2000 miles and its that bad?!

The only time a locker rear diff is a real concern is on low traction situations like in the rain or ice. Otherwise it's not hardly any different than a normal rear diff

how do you know when you broke an axle? Jack in up and then spin one rear tire and see if the other spins?

I ran welded diffs for years the only issue is it can get squirmy on tight turns in the rain if you were not paying attention.

I’ve got a 92 chevy s10 with a welded diff and a 350 v8 am I gonna have a problem with handling

Bruh so your telling me every time you gotta change your oil you have to change your tires too? My tires last me waaaaayy longer

A Real Limited slip differential is the way to go, costs much less in the end of the day

Don’t use high tread, off-road tires. Welded diff may help off-road but on road, you’re bound to blow the rear daily driving

no way back in 1989 my friend only 20 years old almost 21 years old i knew him in high school got killed in a 64 chevelle going around 65 miles per hour on a hiway it started to hail he spun out into oncoming traffic got killed,, his friend welded his rearend togeather, of corse depends how good the tires are and other cericmstances personally i would never weld any rear ends togeather

He was on his knees the whole video just goes to show why he has so many complaints 🤦🏽‍♂️

What wheels are those?

How to crash when it's raining 101

Very well presented video with all the facts and video evidence. Appreciate the advice

How is it to drive in highway in the rain?

SoCal sidewayz sticker? Used to watch you guys when I was little

Wide u turn? Just floor it bruh

great video

its funny how he mentions diffs were 20 buck meanwhile the only 1 i could find is going for 300$ o how times have changed :(

Daily drove my first 86 with a spool for 2 yrs in Nippon. Much love ❤️

Is it safe to drive on a welded diff and how about on the freeway?

Thanks a lot for good info!

Looks like a 185 lmao

Welder sales went up after this video.

How bad would it be if i go welded diff on a slammed static z with 19x11.5 wheels in the rear

That’s it I’m welding my diff on my wheelchair

Is welding a e46 diff bad?

Oh yea I’m definitely welding the diff in my g35

Under steer and over steer during daily driving through curves and making throttle changes?!

Digging up old videos for research. Lol. I'm hoping to get an fc rx7 this spring and if the one I find has the 4 lug hubs and open diff, I definitely plan on welding it until I get to a 5 lug swap with an lsd. If I manage to find one with an lsd, I won't need to. Lol

Is it dangerous going fast on the highway or freeway?

I drove my welded diff E60 520d daily. To be honest it was fun and didnt cause any troubles, it was hard to do u turns or low speed tight turns, sometimes you have to back it up etc. But it wasn t a big deal, i drove it like 30k km including long trips, never had an issue with it. But it slowed down the acceleration, i didnt measure how much it slowed down but it did. But car changed even in rain the car wants to do what you tell it to, if you want to slide the back it slides, if you want to stay in the line it stays. It was a nice idea to weld it for that car. But many cars gearboxes cant handle that weight so careful, I dont recommend doing this to auto geared e60s. It can cause a lot of problems. Manuel 520d E60 welded dif, no problem in 30k km.

Ran a 97 wrangler as a dd for two years. Custom Ford 9 inch, spool, 355 gear. Main thing was needed solid lower arms to handle the torque.
