Im really hoping my LSD isnt on its way out, but it seems like if i punch it on a right turn, one wheel will spin (the right wheel) but if i do a brake stand, they both spin :confused:

I think i remember that the right wheel is the traction wheel, but why the hell wont both wheels spin, is it another case of being underpowered? Straight it seems fine but going around a turn it seems like only the right will spin and i cant get the ass end to kick out :(

I put new clutches in recently and I can drift the rear around during a left turn but cant when making a right turn. I guess thats normal for this rear? :confused:
On a straight launch, both wheels go.

If you punch it first, then turn the car will drift easier. But you probably need both new clutches and more power;)

probably, and i cant afford either right now. 38k miles and my rear end doesnt want to slide to the right :mad:

I NEVER open it up on the street until I'm going in a straight line, 30 mph or so at least. Even then it's hard to hold it straight. Goose it in a corner or curve and she's coming around. Quickly.

you have 700rwhp, your car will come around at any point! :P Not the case when all you have is a JLT, a lidio tune and some control arms :alone:
