Hi guys, I have a vx berlina with the LS1. I recently purchased an 3.46 Ratio LSD now my question is... when I do a burnout or just take off hard it will leave 2 black marks as it should, but when Im at an intersection turning left or right I take off & both wheels will spin but as soon as I turn it sharp 1 wheel will stop spinning (the one with all the weight) as soon as it straightens up both will light up again. Is this a normal thing? Ive never tried doing a donut as such so I dont know if both will lock up. Even in the wet as soon as I turn its only 1 wheel then both when it straightens. Can anyone help me!!? I dont think its a case of not enough power as it will do a line-locky in 1st, 2nd & 3rd (auto).
your diff is probably getting worn
try a oil change
if that doesn't work you need a rebuild/reshim or a Kaaz
It should'nt be. Its out of a VZ Maloo ute with only 50,000 k's on it. I guess if its been ill treated it would'nt matter how old I guess. I also put new oil in it when I got it, cost me $130just for the oil & additive
one wheeling is a sure sign of either shagged LSD cones, or glazed cones. Either way the LSD needs to be removed to check for sure.... which inevitably leads to... "May as well recond it while it's out"
To check for yourself... Jack one rear wheel up clear of the ground (other side must be grounded). chock the front wheels up, put the trans in 'N', handbrake off. Grab the wheel (that is off the ground) by the spoke and turn it round. How easily does it turn?
Hit me up with some reputation points if i've helped you out! (Star in the bottom left!) Cheers!
