I know I have an LSD because my car is a GXL. So why is only one wheel spinning? Is my LSD screwed up or what? How can I fix this? BTW my fron diff mount is broken so I know that needs to be replaced but only one wheel spun before that happened.



Thanks

I'm not too sure on this, but wasn't the lsd an option in 90 - 91? Jack up the rear end and check it by spinning the wheel by hand.

You just swapped in a j spec, right? Are you using the GXL rear end?

OKIERX-7 06-28-2002 02:14 AM

Yes, I swapped in a jspec. I still have the original rear end in though. According to my VIN. I have the LSD option.

Maybe it's broken. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

LOL, could you be more specific? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif Seriously, though if I turn one wheel while jacked up, then both wheels should turn right? I wonder what part would be broken to cause only one wheel to spin?



Both wheels DO spin when jacked up, but one spins faster than the other.

With an open diff the other wheel would spin the opposite direction.

I'm not too sure what breaks in the lsd unit, but that may be you problem.

89-90 GXL's don't have LSD.

OKIERX-7 06-28-2002 06:49 AM

i could be wrong but I could've SWORE that I had that option. Then again it may explain the problem.



Maybe it's time to hit the salvage yard... S4 GTU's had LSD's right?

in my 89 GTU with open diff. i could lay down rubber for 30ft. don't ask how or why but i have pix https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png also i have a 89 GTUs 4.33 LSD diff for sale that was supposed to go on my GTU but i sold the car.
