Just replaced a grenaded front diff, and while in there I took the opportunity to swap out both CV's/half shafts (ordered them because I didn't know if the splines had been damaged and it's cheap insurance), left and right axle seals, and the driver's side wheel speed sensor (the little set screw bracket on the old one had come loose and I had a spare sitting around).
Everything went together just fine, and the truck drives great in high, low, and with diff lock engaged. Got rid of about 90% of the clunk we all hear when putting a D2 into drive too. Bonus!
Downside, the traction control now engages whenever the truck turns left, applying braking to the front right wheel. No problems on right turns, just turning left. This is on flat, level asphalt.
I assume the TC is seeing the right wheel rotating faster due to the longer arc it makes versus the left as slippage. Is there a chance the brand new sensor I just put in is bad and not reading the left wheel rotation accurately? Anyone else experienced this? I did a forum search, but didn't get any hits along these lines. There are a couple over on the Land Rover Forums, but I trust the knowledge base over here much more.
