My new Mayhem ST is only a few tanks past break in, so I've been able to nail the throttle recently.

The right front will come off the ground and the truck will veer off to the right under heavy throttle. It is a very upsetting condition. With the right front coming up, the tire is free to baloon, and then it re-grips momentarily as it swells and causes a vey unstable handling condition.

The wheel nuts are on strong and there is no stripped wheel.

Checking the diff action (Mayhems have factory silicone diff fluid):

front: If I raise the front only, and spin the right front, the left front will rotate opposite. If I rotate the left, the right rotates opposite. Action seems slow, but I guess that is a product of the fluid. Slight diff clicking is heard. I guess all seems ok.

rear: Repeating the above test on the rear produces similar results, but it sounds just a tick quieter.


I'm lost. If the front had issues, how the heck would it come up on one corner? Could the issue be in the rear? Is this issue of one corner coming off the ground indicitive of a common problem?

Is this just a result of the wheels coming up and the diff action?
