 |
|
Has anyone run a P4 in 4wd mode without the rear weight? I know it's meant to absorb vibration but can't help wondering how much it is needed, and it would be nice to remove that amount of rotating weight from the drive-train.
I might give it a go myself when i fix my prop. |

only concern i would have is shortening the life of the rubbers in the middle which are bit tricky to get hold of so they say...

Now that prop shaft is gone you see 16v acts like 100kg lighter almost like gazzele instead of slug it used to be and you would like to keep it that way.
My rear diff developed a leak on seal after I was runing a week or two without it, and bearing got some clearance. Was it because off taking out weight, I dont think so, but you never know.
There isn't that much difference in slugnes with or without weight
