Default limited slip problem, i think...

does anyone know if the factory LSD units are supposed to let one wheel slip a little bit arround turns under heavy wheel spin? i was doing a "show off" style burnout yesterday arround a turn and up hill (if that matters) and the damn thing didnt get sideways at all.

i was going arround a slight right turn slowly from a stop, pushed the clutch in, revved it up and dropped the clutch. it mad lots of smoke, but i went back to look at the tire marks and the right tire mad a fat, long mark, but the left tire only made a shorter less pronounced mark.

arent these limited slip units supposed to lock up when you do a burnout arround turns and strait? i did recently have 4:10's installed about a month ago and they said they had used the Ford LSD friction modifier, so i dont even know what to think about this issue.

your tires probably werent hot enough for the turning burnout, as for the lighter mark its due to weight shift.

it is possible, but unlikely. these guys seem like they know their stuff pretty well. i am however going to do a diff fluid change soon with the royal purple pre-mixxed stuff.
