Viscous coupling

monkeydog · Mar 23, 2009

Hi all. I suspect my VC is siezed. Can anyone tell me which parts should rotate in relation to each other? I've marked the two halves of the VC and they haven't moved. Should they? Or is it only the propshafts that should change?

tippex a line along rear prop, over vcu and onto front prop. Take it off road and give it a spin, try flooring it in 1st to deliberately invoke a degree of slip. then take it home and jack it up and have a look.

do a search for willo method...

Thanks for the replies

Looks like I got it a bit wrong then. I only marked both halves of the VC, assuming they were the parts that slipped?

In going round any corner the rear axle net rotation is less than the front which wil require the VCU to slip. A gentle spin around a car park should show whats happening.
