Electronic diff really tight..

My electronic diff is really tight. Pretty sure stingray was in eco too..
When making sharp turn or u-turn I can hear diff wanting to lock & kinda of like drag outside tire skips
Anyone else

Sent From The Q on the Galaxy S4


Edited**** LOOKED AT MYSELF AND WENT TO THE DEALER
Well I got out the car and had gf pull it forward and watched.. it was front tire skipping basically getting pulled over..
brought to dealer and my friend that works there told me and then corvette specialist said same thing when i asked if normal to make sure (did not see these post or that in owners manual)
They said yeah all the vettes do it.. has to do with wheelbase and alignment blah blah blah LOL
As long as tire not going to fall off doesnt bother me lol..

Hopefully this helps someone else if they have this problem

The manual mentions that *low* speed turn tire hop is expected.

That's a tire thing, not a diff thing.

Good point. I guess someone who knows the car needs to drive it to see what's up.

This tire hop in a tight turn is a front tire thing. I have gotten accustomed to it now I don't do full wheel lock turns.

My diff. Makes a slight whining noise when accelerating or holding speed on the highway.
