hey guys iam kinda new to the site and think i have a little problem with my rear. i saw a thread on how to see if i have a LSD on my car or not and it said to burn out and see if their are two tire marks or one. so i did and every time its different. some times two, some times one. also when i jack up the rear of the car and spin the tires. one spins but the other doesnt. from what i know (kinda new to RWD and LSD) if you spin one tire and they both turn the same way you have a LSD but if you spin one one way and the other goes the opposite direction you dont. also iam pretty sure that if it left two tire marks when i burn out some times theirs a chance i have a LSD but its just broke???? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

i think its if you spin it and both spin the same way you have a true 2 way diff. but if you spin one and the other goes the opposite direction you have a vlsd, and if you spin one and the other just doesnt spin you dont have an lsd of any sort,some one please correct me if im wrong

 

Sounds like you don't have an LSD

 

at first i didnt think i had a LSD but i thought it was almost imposible to burn out with both tires if you dont have a LSD. i can burn out and hold it and both will spin, then i will try it again and one will spin.

 

Open rear end can still get some power to the other wheel. It's just not a constant thing. That's why.

 

any lsd will spin both tires the same direction if it's an lsd.

 

what if its a vlsd, cause my bro has a vlsd and we jacked his car up and spun one and the other went in the opposite direction, thats why i think they both spin together only if you have a true 2 way or welded diff. ???

 

yeah im wondering the same thing, all i know is that my buddy welded his and that thing sucks to go around corners unless ur spinning the wheels. and forget about u-turns

 

You could have VLSD and its going out.

Open diff will NEVER leave 2 tire marks doing a burn out. it doesnt have the appropriate gears to do so.

 

thats what iam thinking. could the clutch packs in side the rear be worn out??? also is their any way of tell if its a vlsd threw the vin # i tried the thread on decoding vin #'s but the link was bad.

 

l2aine is working on the site right now, try back when he is done
