Is It The Diff?

[mickysacca]

Instead of dropping a fully sick burnout to test your diff, try jacking up the rear end and spinning one wheel (in neutral of course) if the other wheel spins in the same direction then it is an LSD

where's the fun in that

The diff might still be an LSD but not limited enough to stop the other wheel from spinning free. I had this once going up curb cars were not meant to go and the wheel that's in the air spins but it makes a weird sound and doesn't spin freely and the other wheel still has enough energy to push the car up the hill.

What he's describing sound like free spinning, it's not unusual for an LSD to fail and not be very limited any more. Mine lost some of it's crispiness after some prolonged circle work once but was back to normal after ford did a fluid change, now it sound like a locker when doing a tight turn with some gas especially in the wet, also noticed it become "not so limited" on the track due to temperature.

Spinning the wheels up on the grass or jacking the car up and turning one wheel might prove the diff is an LSD but might not be very tight and in turn not stop the in the air wheel from spinning.

Fair enough but its never done circle work or even 1 burnout from memory.

With only 53k on it.

Sounds like you havent been running it in hard enough!

Drive onto some grass and put your foot down..........

2 lines diff ok.

1 line somethings up.

You can tell if when you do a U-Turn and you put your foot down only the inside wheel will spin.

98% of cars wheelspin on grass regardless of LSD or not

[Maximus]

Yeah but the ones without a LSD will only spin 1 wheel.

It gets the occasional flogging, I just dont do burnouts. Had 3 diff bushes go in it.
