Here are some illustrations and explanations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_%28mechanics%29 Go down the page to "functional description". I think of the drive shaft turning the "axles" on the planetary gears. When the planetary gear attached to one axle is stopped, the planetary

OK I'll bite, you're saying that if you put the rear axle up, the rear wheel will spin at twice the speed? How does that work? The magic 2 speed diff option? The input speed into the diff is the same at 80 but the output doubles? That's great, I am going to take one of the tires of the back and

Yes I am running out of problems to chase down with the car just now so this one rises to the top. putting the car on stands and winding up to 80 sounds a bit too much like ferris Buehler s day off,  but is otherwise a fine idea. I didn't follow the bit about 80 on stands without the driveshaf

ooohh that would drive me nuts. My truck had that sort of thing going on, new steer tires and everyhting is good but seeing that you have had tires replaced, we can discount that. Have you checked your wheel bearings, I suppose you would have at some stage in 13 years. Wheel alignment? I would
