W210 E55 Torque delivery

Hi All,

Tending to find that's it's my N/S/R trying to grab more than my O/S/R. Both tyres same with same depth etc.

Other than that, drives fine with no issues, just that wheel when trying to pull away, almost feels like a mis adjusted diff trying to put down power.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Its because you have an open diff and you are sitting in the car. There is less weight on the NSR tyre so it spins first, and being an open diff, all the power goes to the wheel with the least resistance. This is when ESP would brake that spinning wheel to try and send the power to the other wheel.

NSR is also the torque reaction for the diff, even in LHD cars this wheel is the first to spin normally.

Fantastic and very logical response. - Thank you. Makes perfect sense.
