Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi, just wondering what happens when the viscous couplin sh*ts it's self?
does it lock the centre diff lock and make it feel like you are driving with a front diff lock engaged?
any help appreciated thanks

from what i'm told, when the vc goes it locks on constantly sending power to both axles. a mate of mine had a vc fail and he drove around with a locked centre diff and it placed massive driveline stress in normal driving, so i imagine it may have effect on steering.

personally before throwing out the vc, check that it may be your axles, cv's, wheel bearing, steering shaft (between firewall and p/s box) seizure and/or differential function.

i had very heavy steering once and thought it could be my (locked up) vc as well. turned out to be a seized steering shaft.

good luck

Hi,

usually they sieze up so it feels like you are driving 'in diff lock'
