VX SS S2 5.7
Hey there. i have a vx series 2 ss ex cop with 110,000 k's. Ive noticed that the diff seems to only spin 1 wheel alot of the time. if you plant your foot at the lights it will spin both wheels and step a little sideways which is great, but if your turning a corner (left or right) and plant it, it just seems to spin the inside wheel. I thought an LSD would always spin both and send me sideways? a mate rekons replacing the diff fluid may help but i dunno... any ideas?

Well Just to add my VX V6 LSD does the same, As you are turning (pulling out) The inside will spin as it has little weight on it due to the turn, and all the weight is on the outside wheel, making it harder to spin, And so when your straight, it spinning both as it cant toss the power anywhere else and equal power will be sent to both wheels. Well thats my understanding lol
Make sure your TC is off and Just put ya foot down harder and it will let go, hopefull not into a poll or gutter :-/ lol
Id Recomend not to, Unless you have endless cash for tyres, The old mans VYSS only got 15,000 per set of tyres cause they are so soft, but least every corner you went to you knew you would be fine lol
After a good (legal) Fast run you could almost peel the rubber off them lol

i thought it did have an lsd but i must be wrong. it sucks when your already sideways and then one wheel stops spinning... throws you off bigtime

just curious how often should you change your diff oil?

also, under braking coming up to lights, and when I almost stopp I feel a "clunk" from the diff like its shifting forward? any ideas
