LX 5.0

The other night I learned how to do a brakestand in my 89 lx 5.0.. Out of the 6 that I looked four were possie one of those started single. And the other two were a one tire burn. I did multiple dounuts at one time going around to the left which I assume is the primary reason my right tire is balled and my left has a lot more life to it. A mechanic said it was normal and the right tire is 60% and the left is 40% and that the car loves to fishtall turning left and not right. To his knowledge my differential is normal. Is this correct and if not is there a better differential I should consider buying when I put my new gears 3:73 in?

do you ever rotate your tires?

LX 5.0

Yeah- I hadn't drove it other than a down the street 4 months ago and not two months before that. So it was about a 6 months break I sorta went nuts the other night and it's time to swap the rear tires now if it is safe to drive. I not sure I low I can on threads I can drive it with

have your mechanic replace the trac-lok while it's getting the gears swapped. this will fix your one tire fire and allow you to fishtail to the right.

any drawbacks to having it fully possie?

Lemme think.....um....no....

Do I need to get new a new part to make it fully possie.

No, just a traction-loc rebuild kit...

to my knowledge My differential is working properly. I got 65,000 miles on the car. If I rebuilt it then it may be the same. 4 out of 6 breakstands were possie. 2 were one tire burns. what bothers me is how it dosn't kick out when turning right. Is there such thing as 100% equal power delivered to each wheel?
