LSD could promote some under steer and the tighter the diff the more understeer it would promote but not sure how noticable it would be. Try turning a truck when diffs are locked...

I dont think the ford lsd is a 1.5 way, there is no lock up at all under deceleration in my expierence.

also 6L_ETA, try redline diff oil, it tightened my diff up alot. had a few single spinner moments with the nulon diff oil.

I'm curious as to whether you added the friction modifier. I was told its to stop chatter but actually softens the clutches and therefore reduces the LSD effectiveness.

Anyone confirm/deny?

imo lsd's will always be beta, they dont flog out your tyres like lockers/spools do as they are 'limited' slip, but they still give u the extra traction when its needed. if u dont like being all over the road when its wet then leave your t/c on rofl. yes they promote oversteer but only when they break traction=fun fun fun. but if u giv it a hard time, the clutches will wear out and ull b back to an open centre

didn't add any to mine workxr6, and it was real tight, but wasn't louder or clunkier. no side affects really, but moderate throttle at low speeds would give me the welded-diff-esque inside wheel turn.

lsd can be great fun, take you to amazing places and make you see things that should be impossible, the cons are that you will loose a few brain cells and be scattered the next day :thumbsup:

Lol, quote of the day.
