Help me out here guys. I have a NTC3 that I did a few minor mods to over the winter. Low CG fuel tank, alloy bulkhead, and a new ball dif. I had the car on my setup station and put everything back to a setup that was working good for me last year. Took the car out the other day for some practice runs before season starts and the thing is just uncontrolable into a right turn. It's loose in (off power), loose out (on power). It's crazy loose and no matter what I did adjustmentwise I can't get it back. Left turns it's a little tight but not too bad. One thing I was looking at while standing next to the car, if I goose the throttle real quick it appears like the right rear turns forward and the right front almost turns in reverse coming off power. If I hold the car up in the air and goose it, the wheels all turn normally. I'm probably going to return to an "out of the box" setup, but I'm clueless here as too why it's sooooo looooose right. Thanks in advance!
 
Might be that ball diff.

Is the diff set right?
 
I'll check it, I was thinking it may have been a problem, but didn't know if that would cause the condition or not. Thanks, I'll check it out.
 
what kind of condition are the shocks in? freshly rebuilt or had some runs on them? also, check to make sure your ride height and droop is set right.....good luck as I know these things are a pain to get handling right sometimes.........hope this helped!!

Ball dif. The shocks are good and I just had it on the gauge for ride height and droop. Will have to wait til after this trip. Thanks
