Sometimes I feel like my car is floating on water rather than the road when going an uphill which will cause inadequate handling...
(or is it because of my large wheels and tyres = 17 x 8.5 ?)

Want to trade center differentials?

with the car in the "limp home fwd mode" the torque is reduced to the point that you cant spin the tires and damage the car. or atleast thats what the dude at suberu told me.....

There might be a few with broken front diffs, that may disagree with them.

in the manual for the svx it says to put the spare on the front and the full size on the back , dont f*** with fuses, the front diff should be fine, but the back diff strains under a smaller tire.
