HA! It's the only way to test a subaru. Good job mate...

Thanks!

I have a 2009 Forester XT (MT) and I had the near side front wheel off the ground and the rear side off the ground. I stoped so I could see what happens and nothing did bar the wheels that where off the ground just spun and I did move forward.

I tried to turn the Traction Control off and on, with no luck. Is this common in the new foresters? or different between the MT and AT models?

[enderbg03]

There is for sure difference between AT & MT.

The new Forester does not have rear LSD. The idea is quite different. When your wheel turns with no friction (like your wheels were off the ground) the TC enables the brake on this exactly wheel and via Open Differential transfers the torque to the other wheel which is ON the ground. This takes a little more time of course. And a hard push on the acc :)

N.B. You can turn off the VDC, but you cannot turn off the TC. Actually you should turn the VDC off in offroad like situations because it will not help you - just the opposite - will lower the RPM and engage the brakes.

Try it in different conditions to see what happens. Always be prepared with the backup!!!

This is the only way to find what your Forester is capable of. And try to keep in mind that this car is not core offroad vehicle, Forry can do a lot, but not everything!!!

I cant get no sleep, I need to sleep, I cant get no sleep. Just bought Subaru Forest 2010 and videos like this are why I cant get no sleep.

Not a lot of flex but not bad for a soft roader

this video is a digital proof Subaru are made for off-road and only off road... the STi is also misused, it should be lifting dust not asphalt

So in conclusion your car is working fine, otherwise you wouldnt have been able to get out of that situation. And to all the hardcore 4x4 locked fans out there, you can't drive that shit on the road man, and 99% of the time limited slip does the job. Which is by the way on all subarus as the front and back differentials. This type takes a bit to start really locking the two axles together but in a situation that you would require for them to do so, your generally not in a hurry. ie stuck in mud.

[nkalbasi]

When you put your forester on two of its opposite wheels (as in this video 1:14) the manual and Auto act the same, because they only have different center differentials, which in this case has to remain in 50-50, default. The rear and front differentials however have to direct power to the grounded wheel. Of course that's not possible in a viscous limited slip differential. at best it can do 50/50 which is that the free wheel spins about as fast as the wheel on the ground. and thats good enough!
