Playing with my suspension today (changing shocks and removing a leaf) and i noticed when i had both my rear wheels off the ground, with the car in gear, if i spun the right wheel forwards (ie: as if the car were moving forwards) then the left wheel spun backwards (ie: as if the car were moving backwards)

is this normal? or is something screwed up somewhere?

Nah it's cool, that is just your diff working as it should.

its due to the circle spin ratio developed by suzuki in the early 70's while taking LSD. :rofl:

nope, the guy who had it before you must have done a lot of circle work for it to be that bad

Just to clarify, this car isnt fitted with a flux capacitor is it?

Perfectly normal behaviour.

Thanks for the video paulv, its very simplified and good for nerds like me to get the hang of mechanical-like stuff.

lol you mob shit poor starters.

Its because you have an "open" diff, totally correct, from suzis to er, crikey, statesmans, anything with an open diff is going to rotate opposite.

Did I just say something useful, or make a mug of me-self, not sure if the question was real or not.

Blame, beer.
