- I'm considering a limited slip differential for a BJ8. Has anyone had experience with one? Installation concerns, how it improves the driving? I'd appreciate some thoughts from anyone who has one in

- With all due respects, why are you considering a limited slip diff. In my experience such a device is only of use when you intend to use the car for some very serious competition work or you are dri

- I have a Quaife in my BJ8 Rallye car. The Quaife design differs from the Powr Lok design. The Powr Lok engages and disengages a set of ratchets as needed for traction (is my memory correct, Mike?) s

- Well, actually, no. The PowrLok, although a very old design, (ours is from a Studebaker Lark V8) is actually a really good one. It uses clutch discs and cones to produce a very progressive and, usual

- Limited slips are reactive. They limit over-speeding of the inner wheel by coupling it to the outer, more heavily loaded wheel. In contrast, "torque biasing" differentials are proactive. They send in
