so apparently i'm stupid... i drifted my is 350, really really really hard, didn't hit anything, but i think i messed up my rear differential. it now squeaks in the rear whenever i'm making a slight turn, if i'm going striaght its fine, but whenever both of the rear wheels are spinning at different rates it makes a horrible squuueeaaaakkk..... i'm guessing nobody else has had this issue yet....

anybody heard of this happening before hahaha?

Dislaimer: Yes i'm a dumb *** please don't make anymore fun of me, just help me out if you can. otherwise don't say anything :P

I have a 250 and have pulled off drifts no problem (traction control OFF). On rainy days... it will give even with traction ON.

I dont want to mess up my tires too much... so I am going to hold off until I hit the tread wear indicator then have some fun until new tires come in

I dont think there is anything wrong wit your diff, because we dont really have a locking differential. I believe that some ISs come wit a viscous differential. Therefore your differential only locks when its losing traction.

But don't beat your car up like that..it's a waste of tires and just no good..

i got a loaner is 250 =) so.... i would know... you can do donuts and pretty good burnouts on it, it was a lot of smoke !! but cant really drift it due to the lag of power
