Default more power at the rear..

hello guys,

yesterday i run the car for 2 hours without problem, but when i fuel the car to run it for the last time, it appears to have more power to the rear tyres> spins the rears easy and car is difficult to drive.
i check the front wheels, all the parts that give the power to the front, but nothing looks wrong..
When i lift the car on the air and press the gas, all 4 wheels rotate normally,
maybe something is wrong on the front and it loses power? it looks to have move on the front but is not like before...

Check the belt and/or gear system again. You might be wrong with that you telling It uses differentials your car or standard belt and gear system?

I didn't understand which part of the diff is the "granatzi"?
And how come you needed to change the rear one?

Does your car have center differential? If yes then for on road use you should block it. Test the car. Hit the brake and try to roll the car with your hand. If all the wheels are blocked then everything is ok and you should just setup your rear suspenssion better. If the front gears roll and the rear are blocked then check for any loose screws that hold the drivetrain cups.

Granazi = gear with the teeth on it

I make the car some pieces to clean it mostly and to repair the damage..
see what i found!! a piece of plastic is broken
i must find another to replace it...i dont think i will find one in my LHS, but i will ask. maybe ebay is my only solution...
I found out that the front differential has a problem and i will replace one of the internal differential gear..

Well visit them. If they sold the car to you they are forced by the company to provide parts support! If you can't find the part then search at e-bay. It's easier than you think.

It's weird though from the pic it doesn't seem to be connected to your diff case which means it wouldn't do anything
Double check if it's connected properly (swaybar)
