What are the warning signs of a LSD going bye-bye?

as i was reading through, my first thought was the exhaust hitting crossmember because that is what my exhaust would do

Thats rare you ripped poly hangers. Do you have motor mounts. I see you have a torque damper but I don't believe thats enough to eliminate drivetrain lash which could have caused it to rip over time.

...this should probably be put on my priorities list....like its not long enough... now if only the parts would come in...theres so many i'm still waiting for

It must have just been a bad batch of poly. OEM hangers lasted for 46K and the alleged stronger poly hangers for less than 20K. Mine sheared off in the rear.

I found another little trick around border fees...all you need to do is know people who live on a native reserve, some of my band members are native and they told me that even UPS doesn't charge them, delivered to their P.O. box or whatever 0$ custom fees...So just have them ship it to them...but then they own your soul...and hey I might need that someday....maybe

More or less since my j-pipe/midpipe was installed, I have had either the AWR 88 durometer front MM, AWR 70 durometer front MM, a filled OEM front MM, or the RR Racing front MM inserts installed (what is installed at present). The torque damper was installed after the exhaust, but has been on for a few years.

My wife found more shattered pieces of the Kartboy exhaust hangers under my car today when I pulled out of the garage.

It might just be as DAWIV said, namely, "It must have just been a bad batch of poly."

glad you found the problem. its rare that poly rips so easily.

but to others wondering if there are any symptoms of an LSD going bad, the simple answer is no. it will just go!

lol i hope my poly exhaust hangers dont go bad because if they do then my apexr1 exhaust is ****** and if that happens trust me kartboy will get a pretty nasty call from me
