Thread: D3 vs D1

that scared me...

My internet is too slow for me to watch it at present but I know what will happen. It is absurd. It's like what would happen if an F150 locked them up and pulled against the back of the d3...there is a tonn difference between these vehicles, a difference is power and torque and a difference in traction....open diff versus locked or TCS.

Cheers

The D1 had a bent trailing arm on the LH for sure .
I have seen an RRC do that on a steep hill with a previously bent or dented trailing arm.

Good idea having that little girl jump over the strap (attached to the tow ball)

I'd say that the mounts were ripped off judging by the angle of the RH wheel, seems they were Spanish speaking but RH drive vehicles ?

Nah, that is what happens when the trailing arm bends 180degrees or breaks on the LH side and is nearly always what happens if you load it after damage . They have to be dead straight.
The LH wheel moves forwards , and of course the axle pivots upwards on the centre balljoint and you do the UJ or flange on the diff nose also.
