Hi all,

I put a Yukon limited slip (from the graveyard)in the rear end of my bronco and when I am turning a corner from a stop I feel something like the brakes dragging (I checked they are not dragging) when I back into a parking spot I feel like the brakes are on and are trying to stop me.... not chattering... like the brakes are on but they are not.... another thing too if I jack up the whole rear end and put the truck in neutral I feel a real hard drag from the rear end not the brakes dragging not like when I had an open diff(the little bit of play in the gear moves very easily. I paid a guy recommended by the bronco graveyard to set up the rear end for me.... there is limited slip additive in the diff... is this normal for a new limited slip...... everything was replaced.... axle shafts, ring, pinion, carrier, all bearings....etc..... just getting a little nervous here... I need to get the trans rebuilt but I don't want to do that and then have this blow up because something wasn't done right (or it just wasn't good out of the box)

I would suggest you take it back to the guy who set it up. He should be backing his work.

Hey C,

If there is not enough gear **** in the rear end you will get the symptoms you describe. When it is originally filled you need to drive to a parking lot and do a series of hard left and right turns like a figure 8. That allows the **** to flow into the axle tubes and then settle to a working level. Then check and top off. I have experianced that most often when a diff is changed that you will need to top off the ****.

Like Seabronc said, if it's not too far away you may want to take it back to the guy that did the work.

Good Luck
