Galliano Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Both wheels on ice...?The Paseo was on one wheel drive earlier due to one front wheel on ice, and one on dry ground. Had to actually come off the driveway, to get back on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

addz Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 As the man above me said.Will be VERY tough to turn the one wheel when off the ground - thats if it has LSD.Will spill freely if it hasn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Jack the car up and spin the wheel, if they both spin they that's LSD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raz Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 that happens to me aswell its allways the left wheel that spins and hardly ever the right. I thought this was because there was weight on my side (right side) and left side had my nephew on it who doesn't weigh as much as me. he is only 10 yr old We were both looking at the wheels aswell i was looking at mine and he looking at his side.. How can i test if i have lsd mine is auto so can't turn it off in gear. I'm guessing "P" lol Sorry for my ignorance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing "P" lol Sorry for my ignorance generally if the wheels move independently very easily then there is no lsd. a standard diff allows one wheel to rotate faster than the other unlimited so the outside wheel on a corner can cover more ground, a limted slip diff allows this also but at a certain force i.e when one wheel spinning like f**k on ice and the other on dry ground it will limit the amount the wheel on ice rotates faster than the other giving you more grip... if that makes sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carl. Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 as for checking on an auto im guessing whatever is the equivilent to neutral.. so yeah park? maybe lol? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raz Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 yh fastest anyone has ever been on that cul-de-sac rofl! scary if the car suddenly propels forward somehow lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silverglanza Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 well guys jacked one side up and out of gear rotated the one wheel didnt lock gess this means i dont have one ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
micky boy Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 The left wheel spins because that is the shortest shaft, if you have got LSD both shafts will be the same size and spin at the same time unless you have got an after market LSD and useing non LSD shafts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
