AdventureSubaru Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Was towing my 98 legacy on a tow dolly across the country. Rear drive shaft pulled. After 2500 miles it threw a rear wheel. Rolled a while before I could get pulled over. It crunched the brake guard into the rotor and ate a chunk off the rotor. 2 questions. With open differential does it matter that the one rotor was locked up for a time while the other spun? If I keep the drive shaft out, can I run difor rent brand tires on the back until I get a good matched set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 2 questions. With open differential does it matter that the one rotor was locked up for a time while the other spun? Not at all. Even an LSD would have probably survived a short incident if you're just referring to the moments around the mishap. If I keep the drive shaft out, can I run difor rent brand tires on the back until I get a good matched set? i've done it before and it's fairly commonly done on other open differential situations. pretty generic in principle so this is probably google material too if needed. 2 questions.
