Please note – The plated LSD is supplied without a warranty or guarantee as this type of LSD is mainly suited for track and competition use. Due to the variability in levels of grip experienced by road cars i.e. one wheel may be on a grass verge or loose/gravel surface and the other on Tarmac, this can cause very sudden and extreme changes in wheel speed across the rear wheels. The sudden and extreme difference in grip levels places massive stress and shear loads on the LSD and can cause it to Fail.
