Guys im pretty sure the original comment was making fun of them for calling the transmission a diff. He wasnt actually talking about the properties of said diff... weirdos.
Serious question. Are the tolerances on the suspension setup so tight that you don't need to carry out a wheel alignment on the car once changing all the suspesion over. I'm guessing all the alignment is set on the new suspension before it's fitted to the car.
they have electronic adjustment of the suspension. the adjustment is always unequal and happens automatically only by balancing the weight distribution on each wheel. the direction is also adjusted automatically by the data provided from a resort while pulling "left-right" a few times at cruising speed. the computer manages the forces to be equal. it's not "wow, high-tech!" 😛

This is very clearly not the case. If this was true, there would be huge control lines connecting the suspension up to the computer, and WRC and F1 would have to allow active suspension. The computer can't adjust these things in the fly due to rules banning them from doing so. I would guess that the car has had the full suspension setup performed before the race and then locked off using whatever locking mechanism is on the setting. Good parts should easily hold the tolerances required for suspension to stay aligned after being removed and put back in. Weaving does not allow measurements as you claim, it's in fact used to warm the front tires on RWD cars where the engine can't easily be used to heat the fronts. Jump in any good racing simulator and you will see this is the case yourself.

Almost 20minute for a full drivetrain swap, brake bleed, and alignment, A mechanic probably need 3 days to loosen the diff bolt and another week to finish the brake bleed, and alignment? 2 hours max
I would say one big difference is, that everything comes loose easily here. I've done some work lately on my suspension and everything is rusted tight. You have to torch, hammer, swear a lot

The FIA rules do not allow them to use a different car than the one they started the rally with. If they crash and the car is FUBARed, they are not allowed to restart the next stage/section with a new car, they are OUT OF the event. This pandemonium and expense (the teams have to transport TWICE the spares/equipment to the event, vs. a single surface rally) is why the FIA has frowned upon mixed surface rallies for the WRC, and I believe had disallowed them for a time in the past. (??)
very impressive. so no wheel alignment is required? what controls the toe and camber preset? someone worked out the static ride height and arms length ahead of time?
That's the 50% of what I like in WRC!!!

Why just can't they have a separate car?
the car has to compete on all surfaces, that is the point
The FIA rules do not allow them to use a different car than the one they started the rally with.
If they crash and the car is FUBARed, they are not allowed to restart the next stage/section with a new car, they are OUT OF the event.
This pandemonium and expense (the teams have to transport TWICE the spares/equipment to the event, vs. a single surface rally) is why the FIA has frowned upon mixed surface rallies for the WRC, and I believe had disallowed them for a time in the past. (??)
very impressive. so no wheel alignment is required? what controls the toe and camber preset? someone worked out the static ride height and arms length ahead of time?
Preset in the factory
Is it just me or the transmission looks like a diff
next time honda quote me three hours labour for a minor service, they're in for a bollocking
I was expecting a simple tire/brakes change not rebuilding the entire underbelly of the car. Damn.
Nah, getting a rally car tarmac-ready isn't that straightforward. There are already parts made to maximise tarmac rallying performance.
