It will wheel-hop around slow sharp turns. It will feel like there is some slop in your steering even though there is none. Any existing slop will be magnified. It will affect your R-ABS computer...On the highway, giving it gas,your steering will pull one way, letting off the gas will make your steering pull the other way because change in torque. If you have a manuel transmission, you will always have to take off in 1st gear, It is very harsh on the whole drive-train. Off-road, It is great !
uh... i'm thinking of getting on for an 88 ramcharger that will weigh roughly 5k pounds, my question is how is the on-road handling characteristics of it? most of the complaints i see come from jeep or drag car owners (both of which want light weight vehicles) and was wanting some feedback from somebody with a heavy vehicle.
I have a problem with my 91 4runner with a detroit e-z locker installed. when I go to more than 35 miles I can hear a ratcheting sound. has manual transmission and when is on any gear the sound disappears but if I leave it in neutral it starts listening.
Heard you don't really notice it in a longer wheelbase car.
