Re: welded difs

I was running a welded diff in my autocrosser and once I had it going it 
performed well, but I had to bite my lip
every time I turned the wheels at low speeds.  All the bucking and groaning 
from the U-Joints and rotoflex couplers told me that I had better get a
Quaife.  So I did and have never regretted the expense.
 
My .02 worth!
