What’s It Like to Live With a Welded Differential on the Street?
Have you considered welding the differential in your street car? The video below gives us a breakdown of what it’s like to live with that on a daily basis. It offers a few things to consider before you undergo the operation, and the ups and downs of living with a welded diff afterward.
We all know that welding your differential provides a more tail-happy and occasionally sideways driving experience on track, or a little better traction out on the trails. But do you know the science behind why it works that way? The video begins by giving us a quick lesson in welded diff physics, and then jumps into preparation. Then they get to the downsides of what you’ll have to endure, and we learn about wheel skip, how you should adjust your driving habits, and how much you’ll hate parking your car afterward.
If you think your Merc needs a welded diff for maximum “mad skid” potential, then maybe you’re right. Driving it on the track will probably be a lot more fun. But will you still enjoy driving it on the street?
