robhybrid Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 If you happened to be spinning one wheel a lot imediatelly before this happend then one of the sun wheels could easily sieze to the cross pin. In my experiance I have seen loads of cross pins break and on closer inspection you can see where the pin started to sieze before giving up. I think std difs were not designed for severe wheel spin but more to suit the slight difference in rotational speed of 2 wheels when you drive round a corner. with a diff out it is interesting to put in 2 half shafts ant turn the input while holding one of the half shafts, the cross pin has to do a lot of work.

Young bobtail Rhys Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 It went whilst driving around a corner, not all of a sudden just a build up, and then a lot of the front axle shaking until it decided to stop which I think was the pin slowly starting to sieze and once the shaking stopped the pin had locked the diff so the wheels were just scrubbing and not shaking/vibrating.
