What is the point of welding your diff?
The most common pros of welding a diff is keeping both the back wheels on the car spinning faster than the inner wheel in a turn or corner. As you know, keeping both the wheels spinning at the same rate will cause the inner wheel to lo0se traction and skip, making oversteer easier to accomplish.
