I just rebuilt my rear end and I think my issue lies within the fact that I did not soak the clutches, I did not shim it as much as it was before the build and I reused the stock S spring. However, I see video after video of fox bodies open wheeling the right tire when trying to do RH donuts. I lay even patches going straight. I smoke both tires on a RH drift and LH drift. LH cookies are nothing but fun, but if I cram the wheel to the right and dump it, I get pretty much a one wheel peel. I run 4.10's with 555 drag radials BTW.
Anyone else's do this as well?
Any other theories?
Any consensus on exactly why this happens or do we agree that its likely a combo of all factors mentioned above?

Hit me gentlemen.

if ur layin 2 patches from a stop then ur rearend is fine

the laws of physics take over once u start turning and stuff like that.

when the wheel is turned there is more weight to one side than the other

yea... thats just how it works... its in tha way the diff is designed... get a spool.. then you wont have to worry about it.. haha

If he gets a spool, won't he have trouble driving on the streets? He will have trouble turning, right?

not so much trouble as one wheel will sort of hop thru the turns and it will the *** end will break loose easier especially with 4.10's, if you racing it spend the money and get a posi unit if not dont worry too much with it...and by racing i mean drag! all other forms i would reccomend the limited slip type that came from the factory...

It's not bad to have your car hop through a turn? Wouldn't your suspension take a beating after a while?

you can help fix the problem but not totaly eliminate it. stiffer S springs will make the lock tighter, if you take the stock shim width and add .1 to each side this will also increase the locking strength... so it you get the stiffer springs and shim the diff. tighter you should eliminate this problem except under hard turns

don't even consider trying to drive with a spool on the road...did it with my old 68 bronco...impossible to control sometimes..*** end liked to try and swap in snow, mude...the tires would hop going around cornders..etc....awesome traction when in 4x4 though...

my old daily driver had a spool in it. as long as u take turns slower and dont act like a retard its not bad.

ah..that expalins all that gunplay on the freeways....
