ok i dont know much about differentials or one-way and two-way but i think this has to do with it. why is it that when i ever loose traction, its always only with my right rear wheel? i dont think it has to do with me cuz i only wiegh 150lbs. but when it happens, its kinda embarassing haha

if your car is bone stock it has an OPEN differential. The rotating energy takes the path of least resistance, and in this case it seems that your right side has less resistance than your left for some reason. Could be that your tires are a little more worn on that side. Could be that you are always having your rightside in something more slippery then your left.

The diff exists because when turning the inside tire has to rotate slower then the outside tire. If both wheels were solidly connected like a little hotwheels toy, then you will have 2 wheels goin the same speed but the inside wheel still TRYING to slow down.

This causes wheel hop. Which puts excessive wear on the tire and also is quite annoying as you can hear it.

LSDs effectively connect the two wheels when goin into a straight line thus giving you better launches and a non lame 2 wheel burnout, but when it turns the LSD lets the inside tire slip letting it slow down to a different speed.

Hence the name Limited Slip Differential.

i have the exact same problem. Guess it means the stock differential prefers the right side.
