LSD burnt out? or slightly?
Hey guys, I have a TII, and there seem to be a lot of things saying my LSD is okay, and a few that say it is busted. Now doing the standard put-the-rear-up-and-spin-the-tire-check, both wheels spin in the same direction. And yesterday, stupidly, I was backing up my driveway onto my ramps, and because of the angle, I burned a bit of rubber on the ramps wondering why my car was making that sound (I thought I was slipping the clutch more). There was rubber all the way up BOTH ramps.
But, my bud said, when I did a peel out, only one tire moved. Also, around a couple corners, in 2nd gear nailing it, I heard my inside tire sqealing. Every so often, when I take off, my RPMs fly up, and I know only one is spinning. So is it half cooked? Or what?
Thanks!

Funny my non-lsd acts in the exact opposite ways. With the car jacked up spinning one wheel spins the other the opposite way.....normal for non-lsd of course. However, when I do a burnout they BOTH spin, for the full length of the burnout.

Yeah, but what kind of tires do you have? I have some 90 dollar 225/50 Yokahamas, my bud paid a little less for some Kumhos and he said mine are a lot grippier.

But if it completely locked up, going around corners in a high traction situation would be very difficult. There has to be some give.
I would be more concerned that if going around a corner that you didn't move; than if the inside tire was squeeling... it should to some degree if the LSD locked up, because the outside tire is spinning at a different radius and speed than the inside tire.
Other things that can affect a LSD operation: bushings worn, shocks worn, springs worn, LSD worn...Funny all things that can affect traction...

7 Dreams... Sounds like your diff is on its way out...
Mine did the same thing, after I blew it (Diff locked up and snapped the rear output shaft on the gear box)
When I dropped the diff out and pulled it apart I found out sum low life tight **** had put a single spinner instead of a LSD center.
But its LSD now and works sweet..!!!
