Since the Quaife is torque biased, when one axle is totally free to spin (as
in broken axle or lifted wheel) the other will not provide any drive at all.
So during that period, you have no acceleration.

Mike,
I have the quaife in an IRS car and it grips just great and running a 3/4
rear sway bar. I've been told the quaife will still spin a wheel if you lift
one, I haven't had that problem. For a live axle car I would imagine the
Salsbury would be better as there is a better chance of lifting a wheel.

Amici  I'm thinking of retiring the "Lincoln Locker" (welded diff) in my TR4
and installing a Limited Slip Diff.   Pricing between the two is similar
enough to not be an issue so......Opinions Please...
 Which Diff do you run and why is it better or worse? also ramp angles which
is best (Salisbury) 45/45 or 30/60?
Note that I run the car mostly at Mosport, Mid Ohio and the Glen
secondly...(If it makes a difference)   Thank you Mike Deweerd TR4 #77
