you can test it with a torque wrench as we used to the borgwarners which is were lrs test came from(borgwarner) ,just get some to try new lr ones at the rear wheel
If someone were to come up with a test for the vcu then we could all do the test on our vcu's, collate the results and be able to predict when failure occurs if a pattern develops.
I feckin give up. The hours that have gone in to helping peeps on this site and we are back 6 years! uke:

Ha ha, not for me. Heart set on a 330i tbh. Test drove one the other day - it was a bit scruffy interior but feck did it get up the road!!
All VCU failures will surely be different due to how the car has been used.
So if VCU failure is suspected surely the known signs such as castellation of tyre tread, the inner rear wheel skipping on a loose surface when on full lock or that sensation of the handbrake being on when reversing on full lock are enough to determine a fault?
That'll be another Beemer carving me up on the road then.....
That's the plan

if it was that obvious, there would be fewer smashed IRD's .
Problem is mines about this tight (_______) and others say theirs is this tight (______________) but comparing the 2 is impossible without a measurement against a datum. Those with an auto won't feel the tightness on full lock like a manual clutch owner would, whilst trying not to stall it. Problem tyres and failing vcu are the big concerns we have. Being able to predict this would give the owner the upper hand.All VCU failures will surely be different due to how the car has been used.

Annoying int it. If only we'd come up with a method of testing a vcu, which was just as easy as washing a Freelander, but only took half the time. :doh:I feckin give up. The hours that have gone in to helping peeps on this site and we are back 6 years! uke:
