quick question about LSD
Monday, October 23, 2006 12:26 PM
Ok without LSD on a 4 speed auto should both wheels spin? Im confused about this because both wheels spin on my car without LSD.. Maybe im just confused on what LSD actually does.. Probably a stupid question but looking for answers none the less..

thanks

only one wheel gets power but centrifigal force through the differential cause the other to spin also itll of course only spin like when doing a burn out cause of the higher rpms

Given the right "conditions" ei level ground, equal tire pressure, going straight, you can get both tires to spin at the same time. Now if your in a turn and you get on it most likly the inner tire will spin as it takes less power to spin.

With the lsd the power is distributed to both tires all the time, not just under the right conditions.
